yep, i’m always online, unless I get kicked off or something. the only time I turn the computer off is if I am either restarting it or going home for the weekend

yes except for when I want to play a computer game but I need to close down all programs in the backround 🙂
Yup, I always have my Yahoo! Messenger on whenever I surf the internet..
I’m always idling on MSN 🙂
I only ever sign off when I know Im going to be using my account somewhere else (university) or for the weekends when I’m hardly on.
Mine is on 365/24/7 there are only about 30 minutes our of everymonth that I am not on AIM and Yahoo like when I restart my computer but that is it I always show online on AIM for like 1 to 6 days is the maximum I go without restarting my computer.
My computer itself is on, all day, but off at night when i’m asleep…but my messenger is only on, when i am using the computer, but even when i don’t feel like typing to people or no one is on, i am off-line. So my IM is only on for about 4 hours (give or a take an hour).
I have started to turn it off now because I heard hackers can access your computer that way.
I use Trillian and it is only on when I am available to chat with any contact,but if I am doing something else on my computer I would rather have it off.
I have it on when ever the computer is on and I’m connected to the internet. Which is a couple hours a day.
If I’m working on freelance work or things for my full-time job, then I have it on. Otherwise, if I’m just browsing the internet, then I don’t have it on. I do most of my chatting during the day while I’m at work.
