bill	posted 28-Dec-1997 9:07am I use the 'net 10-14 hours a week, but I'm not really surfing - more making specific searches and maintaining some web pages that I do.
Jaime	posted 29-Dec-1997 7:58am I don't like to surf, I prefer to go directly to the sites I like or run searchs.
milktree	posted 29-Dec-1997 9:19am gosh, how embarasing, I didn't realise it was so much
doom	posted 29-Dec-1997 11:33am I am online 40+ hours at work so something is always on my screen between calls and projects
linda	posted 31-Dec-1997 4:29pm A lot of my job involves surfing the web. I rarely spend personal time in front of a computer these days.
llyra	posted 1-Jan-1998 5:28am it's really hard to say; i do a couple minutes here, a couple minutes there, while i'im at work and in between calls.
jefff	posted 2-Jan-1998 1:20am Does "surf" imply random net-wandering, or does it mean any time spent online whatsoever? If the latter, my answer must go from "under 5 hours" to 10-14 hours. I spend a great deal of time using the net for directed research and analysis, but relatively little for just cruising around.
Dahlia	posted 3-Jan-1998 2:32am I put under 5 hours, but there are many times when I don't go on for weeks. I kind of go in spurts. It all depends I guess. --This questions brings a feeling of deja-vu.
dvmike	posted 4-Jan-1998 9:54am Like I keep track
Jimmy	posted 5-Jan-1998 2:35am I don't count, but I'm sure not too many. And I don't really 'surf', I scan. =)
NYBookworm	posted 5-Jan-1998 1:48pm it'd probably be more but I don't own my own computer
Timmi	posted 6-Jan-1998 10:59am I work for a computer networking company. "Surfing" is part of my job description.
Tonya	posted 6-Jan-1998 3:33pm it has decreased lately
vanadium	posted 8-Jan-1998 5:52pm Dangerous since it's a large part of my job. Find the tool, check the site, fix the problem, push the button....
Dolemite	posted 1-Mar-1998 5:50pm As long as there is new porn, I'll be there.
joe	posted 18-Mar-1998 9:36pm i do it for work, several hours a day, plus my own website....too much
Artemis	posted 19-Mar-1998 5:39pm Usually when I'm really, really bored.
daver	posted 15-May-1998 7:42pm My work involves gluing my eyes to the screen, I can sleep in a chair, and isn't that what IV's are for? Seriously, I'm doing something online perhaps 10 hours a week, but I'm usually connected for far longer. At work (free 'net access) I usually leave a terminal window open.
phi	posted 24-Jun-1998 11:58pm I'm including both Survey Central and legitimate (work) research, but not time spent maintaining my own material.
gilly	posted 31-Jul-1998 4:06pm Depends on my access. When I'm not working, or working from home, it could be 5 hours a day or more. This temp job has net access and not too much work (as the astute can tell by how many surveys I've answered in the last few days) so I'm online all the time. The last job had no access, so it was maybe only 2 hours in the morning and evening.
dpolicar	posted 10-Aug-1998 2:35pm Depends... does SC count as surfing? I assumed so.
Biggles	posted 3-Aug-2006 7:09pm Less than I used to. And I don't really surf any more - emails, SC, medical school...that's about it.
