While I surf the web, read the news, and correspond with a friend (who I think has AS) via AIM, my biggest thing is recording old Max Creek shows on cassettes or DAT's into my computer, editing them, and putting them online for others to listen to or download. I've done 212 shows to date:

I also use iPhoto and Adobe Photoshop to prepare my photos for my website.

Websurfing, reading random things, watching videos from Youtube (or something similar), reading about videogames and anime, downloading data (roms, docs, videos, some small applications). . .

Xp for some gaming, very safe browsing(like WP). Ubuntu box #1 for web browsing, drawing, email. Ubuntu laptop for portability(though I dont leave home much) and the other boxes are used for torture/tests/experiments.

I cant understand em if I dont break them, right? Yeah!

Web development, chipmunking music (speeding it up so it sounds like it was done by Alvin and the Chipmunks), some games, web surfing, chatting, programming.

On my computer with a 3 ghz AMD Phenom quad core processor and dual ATi Radeon HD4870 video cards is used for gaming.

My old system that I kept after the upgrade because I built a new system from the ground up is for anything but gaming because I run Ubuntu 8.04 on it.
