Do some of you ever leave your pc?

Just making use of these forums. I have noticed a few of you are ALWAYS listed as online. Do you sit there and hit refresh over and over or what

Burris, orum, and Montano come to mind at the top of the list.

That is a lot of people.

My machines are always on.

I use Firefox and have my active sites in the tabs, so I suppose that's why it's always listed. Certainly doesn't mean I live at the keyboard-or does it?

The spyware on your computer suggests you do so who am I gonna believe?

I wish this could be a living ... wanna pay me to be here 24/7?

My PCs crunch 24/7 for Stanford even if I'm away!
Always logged in.

My day job has seen many layoffs around me and pay cuts for wife and I and the rest at work.
This week I was home without choice, and things are looking grim still.
The auto industry needs to get traction again.
Monday I am back at it.

Hope to see things turn around soon.

Since you called me out....

I had been looking at VOIP to replace my AT&T line for a long time, but didn't make the jump. Now that I have, I am fascinated by all the features available. Also, with the recent issues, I want to stay on top of the phone service so that I can tell my wife to "reboot the phone box" if necessary.

Also, I try to answer posts when I know the answer to a question someone has. I am not sure what constitutes online, as I often leave this open in a TAB in IE.

I just named the people I recognized names of that were online at that moment. I still have my AT&T line but I dropped all the features and I have lifeline service so my phone is 1.00. In the first month of dropping features I have saved about 1/3 of price I paid for signing up for VOIPo.

I just use the landline as my failover number. I would of dropped it all together but price wise it makes more since to keep it because I have DSL and naked DSL is really expensive from AT&T. Besides a pots line for $1.00. LOL.
