Stop! Web Time!

EDIT: The Web is _anything in a browser_. If it's not in a browser then it's not the web. If you use a chat client that's browser-based, then that counts. If you use one that's a program, then it doesn't.

[Poll #1657175]

The reason I'm curious is Google's pushing of the Chrome laptops - which are designed to be web only. I know that a lot of my time is spent on the web nowadays, but I'm curious as to what percentage most people spend on it.

(Non-web usages of the computer are either playing non-web games (Dragon Age and Super Meat Boy this week) and watching videos - although that's mostly on Julie's PC, as it's in the bedroom.)

The second question is because there was a big battle over MS Office versus OpenOffice, and I realised that I don't really use Office at home since I stopped sending letters. I still have it (the joy of a brother who works for Microsoft), but I can't see me using it.

Considering the people who use Photoshop, or video editing tools, I'd say not unique at all :->

I use Ableton (sound) and Vegas (video) a lot and yup, no way you want to run them over a network. With Vegas, I get away with the files being on the NAS box cos I use it through the 1Gb/s hardwired network and it's faster than my laptop's harddrive. Abelton seems to like the files local FAR better even so.

Sorry, I didn't word that correctly. I meant to suggest unique in comparison to the average respondant. As much as I'd like the potential job benefits, I'm not the only graphic designer in the world ;)
