The trouble with computers, of

The trouble with computers, of course, is that they're very sophisticated idiots.

I think I need to scale back my time on the internet and here's why; I have three email accounts, one I check honestly over 20 times a day, one I check around 5 times a day, and one I check once a day. I have three accounts on AOL Instant Messenger, one on MSN Messenger, one on Yahoo Messenger, and one each in the ICQ and IRC clients. I have two WebPages, one that I'm constantly tinkering with, the other one I check a few times a week to make sure nothing strange has happened. I also have around 10 regular sites that I visit daily. About half of which I check every couple of hours, if I'm around a computer. Combine all that with the fact my job is essentially teaching people how to build WebPages, and you end up with more time on the net that anyone should spend. That’s just the Internet, it doesn’t count all the time I spend on my compy playing games, photoshoping, flashing, playing with acid pro, or the hours I spend writing. I need to go all Walden on this thing.
