Any Other Office Based PHers Here?

[st_files]

How many of us are sat in front of a PC all day at 'work'?

[zac510]

Quite a lot of us I imagine.

Various PCs throughout the day, makes me not want to play videogames/watch TV/read/surf PH when I get home if i've had a long day staring at the monitor

PC is a generic name for any personal computer, be that Windows, MAC, Unix or some other random system. Many people automatically assume that PC=Windows, but it doesn't.

Sadly probably about 90% of us on here are sat in front of a screen, with our working day being defined by those irritating tasks we have to do outside of PH.

[Don]

Yep. It's what I do.

I usually have three windows open.

Microsoft Outlook for email.
Visual Studio for work.
PH for bks.

Thanks. I feel enlightened now.

However, I am willing to bet my Mortgage on the fact if you stopped someone in the street and asked them what anything in a silver tower was called and what anything with an apple on is, they would not be answering PC for both.

ETA.

This is a MouseMap of my last few hours. Black spots are mouse pauses. (Probably masturbation time)... (actually that is a certainty as they are quite short pauses)

Interesting mousemap ....

You're right - thats what most people believe, and its what M$ have leveraged in their imbecilic advertising, and Apple have also used in their rather clever "I'm a Mac, I'm a PC" ads. Its just not strictly true.

Of course, your average person on the street doesn't know the differences between fwd and rwd, and at the last election a fair number of them also voted for NuLabia.

Yep, sat here with dual screen Vista workstation, piece of crap Win2000 based office PC for emails, and my personal MacBook Pro in the corner of the desk.

I'm another Offfice-bound PHer btw and yes I often have a PH open in a browser amongst my Visual Studio, SQL Management Studio etc etc.

Autocad for when I can be bothered to do some work
Navis works, see above
PH to keep me sane during the day
MSN messenger for email

Just out of interest, is it easy for an IT dept to keep a record of all your PH posts?

We have much better things to do

[HellDiver]

Not if you ARE the IT department.
