That last option is too true for me. Don't have a wife

I don't know how long I spend using PCs, but I am using a PC most of the time at work, and that can be anywhere up to 45 (yes 45) hours a week, minus lunch and breaks (probably hour and a half a day), plus whatever time I happen to spend on the PC at home.

Edit: I really must learn to use the Edit button, and not the Quote button

I work with(mostly broken) computers all day, trying to get them to work properly, and this usually include getting them to browse the interweb, I go out on site alot setting up shared internet access for networks, and then when I get home i'm on the computer much more than I watch telly.

My pc is never ever off at home, if i'm awake and in the house i'm on 24\7.
I have email notification ( check every minute ) for all the threads that I subscribe to on both here and another ( techy help ) place that I frequent.

All in all i'm probably sat here anything between 8 and 18 hours a day, and belive it or not sometimes more...lol
