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 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.
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.

i do a 40 hour week, so i am in front of my mac all day (macbook) then sit in front i my iMac at home for hours.
