Longest time on Computer

[Jeff]

The post about life prior to IB got me wondering: What is the longest time you have spent at the computer online without logging out (or being away for more than 5 minutes)?

Longest consecutive time on the puter was 12 hours, rebuilding the damn thing with a Gateway technician after AT&T internet crashed my week old puter.

Probably the longest time online was shortly after I discovered chat rooms or right after my mom died when I was just numbing myself. Not sure how many hours though.

I'd have to say 2 hours and that was a while ago when I used to come on when dh and dks were in bed or if I was looking for specific info - vacation or when dh's dad had cancer. Now I'm on and off - sometimes several times throughout the day - but for much briefer amounts of time.

Probably about 2-3 hours looking up info. Usually on for just a few minutes here and there.

Gosh... I'm not too sure I can even answer that because when I log on I never actually stay sitting down for any certain amount of time. I'll read a little... maybe post a few reply's... then I'm back up doing a few things around the house or playing with the kids... then I come back reading/posting for a while. It's kind of an up and down thing like that with me all day long. I have a real problem with sitting too long... just can't do that. Gotta be busy... doing things. LOL

Haven't you guys ever had the computer logged on to IB, and fogotten to turn it off? (My screen goes into sleep mode...and we keep this computer on 24/7 .) So...uh...there have been times where I may be logged on for many hours, and probably even overnight!!!!!

There are probably a lot of times when I'm logged on but not actually sitting down and using it. My computer is always on... ready to use when/if I need it. The computer is turned off each/every night before we go to bed though.
