How many hours a day are you on your Mac?

Over the summer I have been using my Mac a ton since I have been designing a website. I would say on average 8 hours a day.
hmm, lets see.
Week days: I sleep 6-7 hours, 1 hour lunch break, 1 hour getting to/from work, 1/2 morning routine, about 2 hours spent with wife - so probably 12 hours in front of MBP
Weekends: Anything between 0 and 10, depending on what we do. A few hours usually.

Too much!
Too much!
scary thread! so many people living on their computers.
for me, about 9-12 hours (so i'm one of those people).
my work is on my mac, much of my 'downtime' is on my mac.
i also have a (what's it called) tv, and sometimes read, um...books.
(oh wait, it's kindle books on my iPhone). does that count as computer time?

I'm just like a lot of other people. I spend many many hours on my computer every day. Probably like 8-10.
It's an addiction like any other addiction.

I'm usually on my Mac for about 17 hours everyday, Monday-Friday. Starbucks and eye drops keeps me going.
I will say I am a Mac junkie. Well, a computer and internet junkie in general.

I hardly ever use my Mac and only rarely visit any Mac-related forums!
I agree, though the sometimes the time not spend on this box is less than it is spending on it. I guess, it is some form of that addiction stuff I heard. And I have to overtake GGJstudios somehow before he overtakes mad jew.
You already have, if you count your hidden identity/superhero disguise/alter-ego/split personality!

That is in the past, though that personality seems to surface again, maybe I ask the mods to join them again (as they offered it back then in the past). We'll see. Maybe I can ask Tallest Skill over at AI.
Or both of you can step into the pod and Seth Brundle will fix you up!
And end up in some bad voyageristic threshold? No thanks. I am better where I am now, though it would be nice to be that other thing, what was it called again?
In bed.
I use my mac everyday, and I use for many reasons related to my profession but never for fun or wasting my time.
Mostly when I'm awake, except for food, showers and when I get the good sense to take a break from working. It's nice to work from home, but I haven't had a lot of sunlight hitting my skin in the last year. Took three weeks off in September, and spent 98% of the time on beaches.
I've had people ask why are Macs so expensive. From all the post here I see you get your money's worth if you break it down to how many hours your on it.
Too many. From the time I wake up in the morning (or afternoon), my Mac is turned on until the time I go to bed at night. But that doesn't mean I'm using it for that entire time, but I still use it more than I should be.
Usually 8-10 hours a day.
It varies depending on if I decide to use my computer during class or not.
