Default Your Pooter & you

How long do you spend on your pc/mac/console etc?

Hours & hours a day (like me?)

Or just a little bit

I spend more time on this than I do watching TV Is that good

Week days, between 5 and 8...plus whatever I do at work

Weekends, as much as I can.

Oh dear

I don't really watch any tv.

I <3 my computer.

Weekends - too much.

Amount of time I spend is inversely proportional to the actual amount of time I have


Not a shocking amount of time..but gosh, I dabble.

Just about all my time I think, it's my life line. Yes, I have no life.

I have a life, it's called WORK

This thing has a tv card on it so I can tape tv whilst watching something else whilst doing this

I'm a lost cause.

I tend to record programs on the Freeview box then watch them in the few hours I'm not on the computer or sleeping.

Aww, don't worry Hermit, EA will let you out one day.
I have no life either. Regardless of what a lot of people on-line say, that they're out here there and everywhere all the time, they don't get out too much either. If they protest, take a look at all the posts they make and the time really spent on-line.

EDIT: That was about people how go, eww, I have loads of friends, go out here, there, yu're all loosers, ner.
;D Sorry, obviously didn't get enough sleep last night. Mummbling on as I haven't woken up properly all day!

I also don't really have any other 'life' than being on here. I like it that way although going out every once in a while would be nice.

But you have to remember that a pc can be used in many different ways...for games and chat, finances, keeping in touch with family, creating, watching tv/videos, DVDS, music and researching etc.

We sholdn't beat ourselves up that we like to use the pc as a tool for our life. If this is where we feel comfortable, then so be it.

Good point Nicky.

I use mine for socialising with friends when I'm not with them, I listen to music on it, I play games, I talk to all of you guys, I watch DVDs and I use it for homework.
