    18 hours a day on my free days, and 1-2 hours during school/work days :)

    so guess on average 4-5 hours ;)

    During work / school days - about 8. When not working / school, probably every waking moment minus common creature maintenance (food, bathroom, sleep) ;)

    I'm a bum, yes I know it.

    Other than when nature calls, all of my waking hours. And when my 1720 arrives, when nature calls too!

    When I'm at home, I am on it pretty much the entire time. Otherwise, if I have something better to do, I will go out. But I'll say I'm on a good 6-10 hours a day.

    If I'm at home I have a computer on and within reasonable reach. I work 8-10 hours a day on a computer, so when you add it up it's almost every waking minute.

    I'm not always working on it or glued to it, but it's available.

    I picked the last option, but I need to qualify it. I'm on some computer all day - 8 hours at work, and then my own system before and after work (listening to music, downloading music, or managing my library). Whenever I'm at home I'm at my computer for the sake of music, even if I'm reading or eating or whatever.

    On my days off, I might be at the computer less than an hour.

    My computer is a laptop, so to be absolutely correct, I am not on it, it is on me; however, it is in use several hours per day. ;)

    Well, I don't actually sit on my tower either... :p

    Between work and home, probably something around 12-13 hours a day.

    I voted for 5-6... but I fear that may be a massive understatement... especially now in the summer...
