I spend a lot of time behind a computer. If we add the time I spend behind my computer and the one in the office it makes at least 10 h a day...... and I don't feel lonely just work a lot and chat a litte
Not counting work? I would say about... six or seven. In my defense: I still manage to read a lot, watch movies, read two newspapers and I'm simply interested in so many different things.
And of course, like now, I do spend non-workrelated time behind the computer at work.
PS. I know people who are not single who spend so much time BECAUSE they're not single and their sweetheart is on the other side of the world...

That would be the no. 1 excuse: behind your pc so long because he/she is soooooooooo far away... how romantic... (although it doesn't beat the real thing, now does it... )
Usually more than 3 hours, but when I have to study I spend much less, of course. I follow regularly a lot of forums (or fora, whatever), check my email, talk with my friends on MSN, visit some interesting sites I visit everyday, play a game or two... The time just flies by!
Same with me!
Answered 0 to 1 'cause there's absolutely no more spare time to spend sitting in the internet. (That's what I do if I do something with computer on my free time) School and boyfriend and sports and all. Of course in the ends of the periods I can spend days (= 4 to 9 hours by computer per 24h) writing essays etc. but that counts as work, doesn't it?
Earlier I spent much much more time in the internet, but nowadays I just drop by for eurobilltracking, checking fast some details, reading e-mail or webcomics or googling. Suits me.
The pc is on, the whole day. But only for EBT I'm spending around 2 hours. The rest of the day is spend by reading texts, downloading films and music, using messenger and write emails. I have a social life, but also a lot of free time.

I switch the computer on in the morning and it stays on all day, unless I go out to the shops - I have to get hold of notes somehow! I work at home as a translator, so sometimes I'm working, sometimes doing research on the Internet, sometimes surfing around. But this sedentary lifestyle is NOT GOOD FOR US
I spend approximately 15 to 16 hours a day in front of the machine, normally.
I commence my day at about 10.30am, I break for an hour at about 2pm, get another half hour at about 8pm, and work through til 4am ish. I get a half hour for a shower in the morning too normally. I work at home. Two jobs. Both computer-related.
No, if its your thing, than do not worry too much!!
I am a mother of 2 with the 3rd on the way and I spend many hours behind my PC every day... But still enough time to raise a family (and even be reproductive at the same time... )

[picking what=nit]Actually mac IS a PC. PC stands for Personal Computer, not just a computer based on x86 technology ;)
Since macs are very similar to x86-boxes in what they're used for - the only really visible difference is the OS, which is slightly better in macs - they are clearly PCs.[/picking]
BUT: for work it is probably 8-12 hours, depending on workload, and whether I'm in the office or "on the road". Outside of work, I almost never use my computer (we have our own PC at home, but it only gets turned on about once a week). HOWEVER.... that's not to say that the 8-12 hours I spend behind my PC at work is work!
