    Do you visit the hexus main page?

    There's a fair few people in this here forum, and it got me wondering "how many visit only the HEXUS forums, and not the main page or anywhere else?"

    To that end, I have made one of my world famous* polls.

    My vote? Well hexus is my browser home page... so yes, I visit

    *May not actually be world famous.

    To be honest Kez, I have to avoid reading some technology reviews as i find myself spending money if i see or read about something i really like the sound of, terrible i know but computer kit is generally what i spend money on. Sometimes i have to avoid the temptation by not looking at all the nice new kit

    When there is a direct link from here to an interesting review or that from David then I will have a look or when a topic is addressed in the forums that is being discussed then will have a gander but I dont go to it daily.

    all the time links to various other sites are an excellent inclusion as well... I sometimes end up going in circles i.e hexus --->site a ---->site b ---->hexus all by their links to reviews

    Every day at least. Tis my browser homepage so I check out the news while i'm waiting for the forums to load in another tab

    The news roundups are brilliant and I have to say the guys do a really good job of getting the news together

    I can't get enought of computer news and reviews, spend close to hours per day reading them, and hexus is one of the sites I tend to read every time a new review of my interest appears.
    Light travels faster than sound. Is this why some people appear bright until you hear them speak?
