Those are a few of my favorite things to do with/on my computer!

you forgot masturbation, tsk...

Photos, music, writing, keeping track of family and friends around the world, shopping, travel bookings, designing jewellery, doing my accounts, research, communication, listening to audiobooks, podcasts and stuff.

I don't use social networking like Facebook etc.

I do subscribe to the odd forum.

Playing the odd game now and then.

Work (a lot of work).

Buying music from overseas.

Well, I visit Dreamsville and sometimes I'll watch a video on youtube, though its usually if I'm looking for something specific. I don't like to surf it. I check my email of course, though its usually just junk from amazon or some other place. I have lots of games on my computer, but I find that I don't enjoy computer games as much as consoles. I'm not very good with computers and I usually meet with some frustration just trying to get a game up and running. I do store a lot of music on my computer as well, but again I find that I don't really listen to it much. It's more like an archive I guess.

I started with computers in the '80's as a hobby before the information "revolution" made them a necessity for just about everything I do.

I'm pretty up on a lot of the tech and can build and reconfigure my own system(s) and network(s).

I have a degree in computer science and have worked in the IT industry since 1978.

Over a couple of evenings this week, it took me several hours to get a wireless access point to talk to my router I blame it on the documentation

I find that hard to believe - I've never met a computer expert who would RTFM.

Got it in one. You win a pile of useless documentation, as new

It disconcerts me how much I have come to rely on my various computer related devices........

A fact illustrated perfectly by the feeling of frustration when I could not get on-line on either my phone or work PC this morning

Purely coincidental that both units had stopped working.......the router for the PC merely needed re-booting in the end ( ) but the phone did require a change of network settings. A relatively straightforward operation but one that always seems to take my phone supplier at least an hour to execute

I use my computer for correspondence both personal and business, music storage and playing (at work), photography and film.
