THE GAMEZ first of all, then homework (ugh!) and web browsing. Plus, now that I have my own my parents can't blame me if their comptuers crash! And they aren't screwing up the computer that I'm on either.

I tend to use it mostly for Photoshop (I'm a big photographer), games, school work -_-. I have done a decent bit of 3D modeling too with Maya 6.0.

I forgot all my Adobe CS2 apps, music and iPod of course. No pr0n, it
A. Is morally objectionable to me
B. Is loaded with viruses/spyware or the sites serving it is loaded with crap
C. Uses up undue amounts of HDD
D. Gives computer people a bad name, others assume everyone who is good with computers is a porn addict, which is my pet peeve.

No, you're just normal...like the rest of us gamers who are sick of being called "addicts" just cause we have really fast computers and play CS:S and Halo all day.
