How long do you spend online?

Just really quickly, how long do you guys spend online?

I spend about 10-15 hrs per day online. The majority of those hrs are spent in IIS forums, lol..

If you ask the misses: too long.

I spent about 7 hours a day at work online, and then maybe 1 hour or so (what ever I am allowed/allocated ) at home.

Never worked it out John, probably roughly about 8 - 10 hrs a day. I leave it on IIS when I am not doing Rugby League stuff and it stays on IIS while I am watching TV. Every time an ad break comes I check the new posts. Sometimes, when TV is boring, I stay at the pooter and annoy everyone in here!

hrmm time spent on a computer per day would average 12hrs plus during the week. Don't get a chance to 'browse' the net at work, too busy!! But would spend around 4hrs per night on the net/pc. Yes I admit it, I'm a geek! Thank goodness the other half is a geek too, or he would be extremely jealous!

I'm only 'off-line' when I get booted by telstra every ten hrs. Or when I suddenly get disconected for no reason at all, which happens fairly regularly!
