    Generally Speaking
    1. Surf the internet
    2. Check Emails [similar to #1]
    3. Listen to some music
    4. Write a few letters/maybe powerpoint

    Beyond that. . .not too much
    Don't do any or much Music/Photo editting
    Don't really play any games online or otherwise

    I guess we could say Freecell but that is rare.

    So . . .What do you use your Computer for . .. What are the other options

    CPU = p*rn Storage Device

    Honestly, mostly internet, word processing, listening to music and using audio software to transcribe and write music. And p*rn storage.

    browsing the internet
    Audio software
    Music
    Photoshop/pictures
    emails

    I honestly don't have any p*rn. I'm still old fashioned with that, like storing on VHS tapes. :)

    Do a mass edit of all the replies in this thread and put p*rn at the top. Except for perhaps the ladies, you can put it at #2 for them.

    For work, I review the latest desktop hardware and run benchmarks on them. I have a dedicated test system with the most current parts and just swap in the component that requires testing. Besides that, I do lots of photo editing and some gaming when time permits.
