Well, aside of checking the cruise bulletin boards, newsgroups & email during the day from time to time (we keep the laptop on our kitchen counter) I read the news from various papers daily (top stories only) & have only started to get into scanning my old 35 mm slides which might take me until Christmas to finish which gives me lots of reading time in the early morning while the scanner does its thing. I also use the internet to listen to radio stations whenever I'm in my workshop as there's nothing locally worth listening to. (I pipe the audio to my radio in the garage.) I guess you can say I have an Internet addition.
