this goes out to you Ddgonzal and you too dattodude,

Whenever im online you guys are, no matter what time zone im in you are the two that must be chained to a computer or have coax cables as veins...

I feel im online too much and you guys must be here 20 hoours a day???

what do you do with computers for you to be always here????

i no im on here to much.. just ask my folks.. but im only on here for 1 reason... 4 THE LOVE OF DATTO'S!!!

I know I tend to log on 1200.com when I'm at work and forget to logout, so it is a little weird when I get home and find I'm already logged in!! Also I work shifts and I'm writing this at 5 in the morning.....and some people wonder If I have a life as well !!!

i'm online every weekday for the day while i'm at work and then half the time i'm at home when i'm not working on my datto or have work to do so i guess i'm on here for about half the day in some cases, it's weird i just can't get enough of that datsun difference

Get a job "in computers", and you will quickly understand the need to be "online" all of the time.

I like to keep an eye on here through the day. It is a nice diversion, and at night, I am on the computer at home checking and/or completing work, and I tend to do 5 things at once, so I'm not "entirely" watching for every update here. It just looks that way.

I generally sleep 7 hours / night, although after I've been out on a friday or saturday night..or if some insomnia kicks in from too much overtime, I get on here to relax.

So I can be logged in here up to 13 hours/day.

During the last weekend, where I worked 5 days straight on my Datto, I wasn't logged in at all.

So as I don't have access to work on my datto 24x7, I can at least help others to get theirs working quicker.

A few times a year, I am physically in another timezone, (one of 4 globally). Thankfully to in-motel broadband, I can stay online even when travelling. (Means I have to work more too..)

So I'm not some kind of typical computer nerd, no pocket protector, no long hair or a beard, nor do I bow to the god of Windows and all things insecure, but I just work a lot.

I sometimes wish I had to just learn about a static technology or skill, so I could relax and take some time out, but the industry changes really fast, so I need to research the direction, and then study hard to keep up with it..... For you Uni people waiting to get a job and stop studying..forget it, in some jobs the studying never ends.

yep that why i'm always online
i'm a computer guy also, and i think lobster is aswell, so when you sit in front of a computer all day what better thing to do than persue my interest of dat

my excuse to my mates is that i log on here instead of sitting in front of the T.V., so instead of sitting in front of the tv for a few hours a day i jump on the net, it's more interactive, more interesting and probably less bullshit too

[edit] truth is mum dominates the tv channels, she's got it worked out pretty well

OK c'mon fella's tell the truth wer'e all the same ,,,We have been sucked into the 1200 DATSUN vortex .And once your in there is no way out ( for I have tried ).
I mean look at me I haven't even been here a month and I find myself logging on at least 10-12 times a day ...........SOMEONESAVE ME PLEASE

Same for me, I am at work and when it gets crappy and my eyes hurt, bring on the Datto's

Only while this BIG BROTHER s##t is on Wife ruels the TV then so i go on here
