What do you use your computer for?

Hey,

Just thought I would start a poll, to see what everyone actually uses their computer for... I see all these nice computer specs below your messages and wonder what you actually do with it, so er, please vote

Learning to program, browsing the net, playing Guild Wars, and spending a lot of time working out how to use Linux

[edit]I just got a satelite radio so I will probably start listening to the radio online too

A small bit of programming (but those days are few and far between), normal web stuff, some server stuff in linux...word processing and an occaisional game...

I used to game a ton, mostly Q3A (clan ladders in WFA) and Counterstrike...its nice to know the gaming machine I built 3-4 years ago still holds its own for my normal daily use:)

Surfing the net, playing Frozen-bubble and kfouleggs.
Downloading distros and playing with them and looking at different WM/DE's.

I used to more techie stuff with it, but now I have a net connection (and a fast one) it's for D/L'ing, IM, surfing, posting here and researching. And as soon as I get over the one problem with my Steam install I'll be playing some CS.
