    too long...

    I'm on the net from first thing in the morning i.e 8am at home, then I come to work and surf all day, then I go home and play online games to the wee small hours.

    Addicted ? Nope not me *shudder* *twitch* but I could not really go without the internet as its a great communications medium with VoIP and MSN being used more than phones to contact my friends

    Too long, its like a bad addiction, especially now I'm not at uni

    I clicked 6+, luckily, others have too so it doesnt make me look like a geek

    Today Ill probably only be on for an hour, but other days it can easily be that when Ive got nothing better to do..

    I clicked 2-3 hours a day. It varies though, some days I don't use it at all, others I could sit in one spot for 5/6 hours. Also depends on what my girlfriend is doing as we share a computer.

    Probably averages out at 2-3 per day though.
