What do you do with your computer?

[dmw16]

Sorry this is a little off topic. I was just wondering what you all do with your computers? I ask because I used to be really into games and I still like to play them, but they dont attract me like they used to. I just built a new 900Mhz T-Bird and Im looking for some new stuff to do. Something that will tax my computer and something that will pull me deeper into the dark world of computing. I was thinking programing or something. Any ideas?
Thanks,

I'm surprised nobody has said RC5

Well rc5 is not something you do really (like you don't actually sit there crack )... but I see your point.
