My relation with Internet (Homework II)

I still read my electronic mail three times per day, sometimes I do not read it at all. Just to reply students, friends, and for professional purposes. I still get up in the morning and the first thing I turn on is the coffee maker, the toaster, or the burner to boil water for the "mate". I just read newspapers online because I can not buy Pagina/12, but when I am at home I that is the first thing I do: I go to buy the newspaper on my pajamas.
I can not write on my computer with many windows opened (except those from my house), they do not distract me, I am just enjoying what I am doing at that moment.
I do not use msn, although I have an account. It is that people is sleeping when I am working, or the other way. I enjoy to speak on the phone with my friends: to listen to their voices and the surrounding noises.
I use the library a lot, I like to get lost in the Latin American Collection: usually I find books and...people.
I have this blog that I have used for first time in a week. It takes a lot of time to update it.
I still like to be out far from the computer.
Time spent on the internet: maybe 1 hour per day (not on Saturday and Holidays).
Software used: Words, Excel, Mozilla, Picture it, Power Point
Sites I usually use for my classes: my website, You Tube, cha cha cha, some radios, Pagina/12, Clarin, The New York Times, El Pais, Google.
Bueno, me despido.

You say you do not open too many windows at once when using the computer. Why is that? Is it because your computer has memory limitations? Or is it because it's just too hard to switch back and forth between so many sources of information?

For me, I commonly have 10-15 windows open at a time. I have e-mail in one window, a newsreader in another, a newsgroup in another, a message board in another, etc. I guess I'm living dangerously when I do this because all it takes is for one sudden mandatory restart (thanks to Microsoft updates) or one power outage for me to lose all the sites I had opened.
