What was your LONGEST SESSION on Computer ?

[BlackSteyrAug]

76 Hours.

LAN Party. It's the thing to do.

[shihchiun]

Longest time spent sitting at my computer? Maybe 3-4 hours at a time. I usually get up and walk downstairs for no reason.

Longest time my PC's been on? Years, with reboots.

[MistaT40]

The longest time I've stayed on my computer is probably 45mins - 1 hour when I was trying to figure out reviews and specs on a laptop and car. I just can't sit in front of a computer for more than that. Even for work with reports and that, maybe 30 mins. I try not to stay on the computer too long lol.

I think the longest my laptop has been on is probably 2 weeks downloading something and I was on holiday too lol...back years and eons ago when I had a desktop - the longest was probably a month.

76 hours wow! Feats of strength LOL - even back in the days, the max was probably 5-6hours MAX for me and even then I was never constantly looking at the screen. I either get so tired that I just get bored or I feel like my eyes are burning lol.

I did leave once in awhile to go get some taco bell or whatever was open, depending on the time, so I can't technically say it was straight. I was still beyond tired though. The last day I was practically mind-blank. lol

Back when I was really young, I'd game online with my buddies through the night.

But now with College, Job, and Girlfriend, I can sit on here for maybe an hour or two before I go to bed. Those other 3 come first. ;)

Ah didn't notice :happy: , so that means the actual downloaded data can be about :blink: ?

My desktop is always on... laptop is always shut off. Desktop could have been up for months+ and I have it on battery backup.. so the only thing that may have killed it is auto updates :(

I have probably been in front of the computer for nearly 20 hours when I used to be addicted to WoW. It was bad.

up :)

[neudera]

72 hour LAN game.

It was brutal, I drank way too much coffee and Red Bull, ate too much pizza, and took way too many bathroom breaks.

[kInG aLeXo]

up ! :)

About 36 hours. I was working with a temperamental macro for an excel database, I quit my job within the next few days.

[primexx]

I shut my computer off every night. Longest sessions are probably when I write papers overnight, so it'll be on for maybe 1.5 to 2 days straight.

I leave my work PC on 24/7, only rebooting for patching.. always a good advert for Windows, as it never gives me any trouble even after being booted for sometimes 2-3 months at a time without a reboot and is very heavily used.

Home wise.. to be honest the longest sessions for me were when I used to LAN party with friends back before the internet got widely available and cheap at home. Around 1997-1999 we used to crash over at my friends all weekend and play great games like Carmageddon, Quake, Unreal, etc.. we'd usually stay up till about 6am though I was one of the only one of our "group" who had a Saturday job so could never make the Friday night a real late one!

[Jan Veteran]

About 11 hours.

[alexalex]

I never turn off my laptop for years. I do restart after windows/applications updates when required.

The longest time in front on my PC was 3 days + in 2000 managing and monitoring the Y2K process reports at my work.

[jwil1]

My PC at work has only been rebooted for Windows Updates since it was bought in late 2010, so that makes 8 months... :blink:

[cork1958]

I'm usually on 1 computer for a few hours this time of day (early morning) and on a different machine late evening (8-11pm) every night. Have 9 computers here, so they all take turns!! :blink:

Shut computers down after each use all the time. Used to shut modem and router off also, but have Vonage phone now, so leave those on.

I HAVE a life and DO go outside once in a while!! :whistle:

I found a work computer that was running for about a month without anybody using it.

[Mystic Mungis]

If you mean the longest I've left a computer on then probably about a month, was downloading a torrent that had 1 seeder and it was the only place I could find a TV series in the quality I wanted.

If you meant the longest I've actually spent on a computer then I think it was probably about 4 days when I first got my PSX emu working properly and every time I'd think about going to bed I'd remember another game I wanted to play :rofl: Now I struggle to stay up for one night and if I do I find myself falling asleep the next day and that was only 4 years ago :(

[aludanyi]

34 hours, back in the '80-es, when I wrote a video game for an 8-bit Atari 800XL ;) from start-to-finish without taking any break, only eating a few slices of pizza, drinking some Coke and visiting the bathroom for a few minutes.

Good old days, I felt like Bill Gates and Paul Allen writing the BASIC for the Altair :) ? but then again I was about 10 or maybe 12 at the time? ;)

[twaern]

my computer is always on, only shuts down when windows requires a restart ..

as for me sitting at the computer, used to sit at the computer for 24 hours, minus breaks to go to the washroom and eat.. and i was heavily into playing online games, and other games.

The longest time I ever spent at the keyboard was about 22 hours but that was for work. At home never more than say 3 hours at a time.
