I have found that on this message board there are a lot of programmers and everything and I was just wondering does anyone on here just use the computer anymore for entertainment purposes only?

I know I do. I mean this is basically what I do on my computer.

Listen to music (winamp)
Check my email
go to different websites that I really don't need to do I guess
go to message forums
check my Ebay account
play PC or online games
write my school papers


That is about the rundown. Am I so far behind?

I use my computer mostly for work and study but it's also my entertainment system. I havn't played games in years but thoroughly enjoy watching videos and listening to some good mp3's. Of course one could not forget the use of the web to update my page and do the general surfing thing. I enjoy my PC but make a concerted effort to not let it rule my life and to spend less than 2 hours a day on it.

well mine is pretty similar to a few before me. I use my computer for lots of my school work (research, essays, blah blah blah). also for browsing the internet, checking out sites, posting in some forums. photoshop and dreamweaver for learning how to and then building my site. then also for other entertainment like music, games, and sometimes a movie. must have been really different when computers were not around blink.gif
