do you guys spend on the computer? I see people repsonding to almost every post? how can they run a business? or do they? as it is, I spend wayyyyyyyyy too much time on forums (which I pay for sponsorship time) and as a result, my autopia time is less. When I retire, I'm throwing out my computer. gary | |

Even tonight, I have to start measuring for a 92 mm blowhole and a 120 mm blowhole.

Get to work by 8am. Boot up work computer and log into every system known to man, including Autopia and Google. 
Work all day at my computer. (product service tech) Internet in the background for entertainment and work.
Home by 5pm, boot up laptop again. (wireless internet). Check news weather email and various forums while I find something to eat. Do a little homework for school (night classes).
Laptop stay on pretty much all night.
End the night with an episode of Top Gear or Fifth Gear.
Summers a little different, I usually shut off the latop at night until it gets dark out... unless I have too much homework to do.  | |

I'm retired, and I sorta see it as an extension of/replacement for my teaching career. Met some good people here too; sometimes we get to PMing and next thing I know a *lot* of time has passed.
Heh heh, I spend so much time posting and PMing that I never find time to figure out how to do digital image capture, so no pics yet from me  | |

Sometimes I feel guilty about how much time I spend on this machine, but then I realize it has replaced virtually all my TV watcing time. It's a wash I guess.

Some weeks it is only two or three times. | |
