I'm on my computer everyday but lately due to family problems etc...I'm not on it as much as I'd like to. But I probably spend around close to 8 - 10 hours a day staring into the damn box.

I voted <=8 hours. An hour at school, and probably about 4-5 at home for other stuff (homework, gaming, coding, surfing). On the weekends, however, I might occasionally break 8, but not enough I think to change my vote.

I voted 12 hours & <=15 hours, because for me college is 8am to 6pm and then a couple of hours each night to work on personal projects.

I spend x hours working, y hours playing, and z hours worrying about the ratio. The rest of the time I spend wishing I were a polar bear or a porcupine. Everything else (eating, making love, etc.) is coincident with one of the other official activities.
