Stop! Web Time!

[andrewducker]

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.

My letter certainly got to the recipient, so I had no complaints. There are a few other companies offering similar services for people like me who are too lazy to walk to the post office and buy a stamp.

The Royal Mail used to do a similar service, and still does for business that want to do direct mail/marketing. I don't know if the personal service is still available.

E.g. they will send out your corporate christmas cards ... you pick a design, upload your customer address database, and they get sent cards

And of course you don't need to walk to the post office to buy a stamp anymore, you can print them out on your printer at home.
