When I stop using mine, I use somebody else's!

Or in my case, I remote control my computer!

For some reason, time just flies when I'm at the computer. Every minute a perceive is in reality about 5 hours. Weird. =P

ok, little story: my twin bro & i were sharing an apartment & 1 eve i started working on a prog (drawing a garage for my folks house in autocadLT 1.0). my bro eventually went off to his room but then got up 2 use the facilities. ok, but then he started making coffee & i asked what in the world he was doing - he was getting ready for work! evidently i hadnt budged from the sys for over 10 hrs & it seemed like *maybe* an hr had gone by 2 me!!!! weirdest personal pc experience of my life.

I was playing Secret of Mana with other people. One of my favorite games for the SNES. We started from scratch and got up to the final boss. That's accomplishing a lot for an RPG.

Secret of Mana was probably my favorite game of all time for the SNES. It was one of the games that I played A LOT. And I do mean A LOT. Other games that I played a lot were Street Fighter II, Super Mario Kart, Legend of Zelda, and Starfox. I played these games as much as I use my computer now. I had strategies (books + magazines) for all these games as well as weekly tournaments with friends (for Mario Kart and Street Fighter II).

The best was when my friend brought SNES to school and we had a class tournament. Doesn't get much better than that.

If anyone is good at Super Mario Kart or Street Fighter (SNES or PS1), I'd like to play against you. Dani is the only person I know that can really play Mario Kart. I give her extra points for being a girl. ;)

5 minutes 48.3 seconds (Pluto time)

for uninitiated earth time is 248 times faster than pluto time, so just multiply 248 with above time, to know time per day.

last 2 options suit fine.

So, if my calculation of Jayant's computer use time is correct, He is basicly attached via intravenous tube to his computer for over 22 1/2 hours a day... No wunder he has to be reminded to study!

:lol:

I use the computer at werk all day. When I'm home I'll just as often turn on a movie or playstation game. Last night I started playing the origional Gauntlet on the system, next thing I know it's 1 am and I gotta get up in 6 hours. DOH:!:
