I use the computer probably about 5 or 6 hours per day. My mom says that's way too much, but...

As I read the other postings here by you all, I'm not feeling bad at all about my usage rates. :)

Way too much. I'd say maybe 8 hours on a weekday and like 5 or 6 on a weekend. But I have to be in front of the computer for about 5 hours a day because of my job. No wonder my eyes hurt. :D ;)

What's sad is that I spend all day at work in front of the computer and when I get home the first thing I do (after getting out of my work cloths and putting on something more comfortable) is to turn on my computer and log onto the net.

Stuck in front of one all day doing tech support. On days off and sometimes in evening I will play games, but not to much.

On average when I was working about 8 horus a day. Now that I don't work, about 12 hours a day. I have courses that are online, there are the forums, CS, web design, correspondence, and some consulting work, all which require the use of a computer.

Sometimes I get up in the morning around 8am. Check email. Check out the HD and ATOT. Start some work. Take a break around 1 for lunch. The get back on the computer at 1:30 till about when I got to sleep. Which may be around 1am. That is probably the max for me but this happens about 2-3 times out of the week.

What can I say, when you have to proof FDA filings, patent filings, advertising materials for companies, and on top of that take courses online, well you're pretty much stuck in from of the comptuer from morning till night. This is not different then when I was back in grade school. I would go home after school and be on there until 1 or 2am. Ahhhh the good old days of BBS and 14.4K modem was the fastest. Using Qmodem Pro or Wildcat BBS.... hahahaha

I'm at my computer almost all day at work (8 hours). Then, I usually get online at home too.
