What was the longest time you ever spent in front of the computer?
And how long a time do you spend in front of a computer in general?
The longest session for me was about 15 hours (Lan-party).
Generally I dont want to sit in front of a computer longer than 45-60 minutes,
but right know I am here for about 3 hours. Leaving my computer is so very hard. :(
Twelve hours and change. Might've even been fourteen.
bout 12 hours. Had a raging headache and my eyes started going in and out of focus on me. That was back in the days of my Commodore 64! Pirates, possibly the greatest computer game ever made.

Close to 36, editing my first narrative film. Lots and lots of things went wrong.

24+ hours. I have insane stamina when I want to. On average..eh..no clue. Depends on what I'm doin'.

A little over 50 hours a stretch back in 1976 (ICL 1900A Mainframe running George 3) I was teaching myself to program in Fortran 66, from the manuals. I had access to the machine for a week.
I did not have to many problems after playinf for 15 h.
Though I didnt get tired at all.
We started gaming at 9 pm and stopped at noon the next day.
The world record is 3 years. Apparently the guy started to fuse with the chair.
I know some fool will say "hmm" and check the facts for him/herself. So if your smart enough to question and quote me before you decide to search the internet for the truth, CONGRATS! You won't look like a fool!

Damn...I've seen a pic of a guy who fused to the couch, since he wound up being too fat to move from there. But..3 years in front of a computer? That's insane. I mean, you have to go out and upgrade your computer at some point,right? lol

20 hours. I had given myself 2 days for my programming exam (1st year civil engineering). I never studied the course, started programming 2 days before the exam, 20 hours the first, 6 the second (i ran out of exercises) and got 95% on the exam :p. I had to put an alarm clock next to my computer to tell me to go to bed.
24 hours.....might be more but that was the only time i actually counted

10 hours. Ah... life before I discovered women and alcohol.
Wow, I don't know.
I usually spend 1-3 hours on NS. Saturday night I was on from 9 to 1:30. One night I stayed up until 2 NSing, which is a stretch of about 7 hours. Usually, though, I don't spend too much time in front of the computer (explaining my low postcount). With a faster internet connection at my house, I'd probably have been an uberspammer by now. Oh well...
