    Does anyone else do this...

    When you are on your computer, doing what you do, talking to people, listening to music and scrolling through the AO forums, do you have one seperate browser window for AO and another one for any other site you may want or need to go to?

    I keep several windows open to AO at most times. So I can be working here and at the same time refresh those occasionaly to see posts moving and activity. Then if there is a particular post(s) that has activity that I feel I need to watch closely it gets its own window as well. Not too uncommon for me to have as many as 10 AO windows going. Sometimes gets confusing though.


    AGD, where we are so good we can do it with only ONE tube!

      Haha, yea, Im gonna morph this thread a bit...

      what kind of little quirks or things you notice that only you do on your computer. Like little OCD's (Obssesive Compulsive Disorder) that you do on your computer.

      I'll start, when Im on AIM I have to keep clicking and viewing the people's infos that I am talking to.

                I usually go to halotv.net and leave it on while i surf so i can watch halo related stuff 24/7... Then I open AO in a new window and then open another window for web comics and halo.bungie.org

                I also do the buddly list thing with right click > view profile.

                (I am such a halo nerd sometimes... But I think its just a phase... i used to have my windows open for car stuff msot the time)

                    Sometimes when I'm reading a really long story or post on the internet I constantly keep highlighting and un-highlighting paragraphs or just random parts of the story.

                    When I'm browsing web sites, I almost always right-click and then open in new window links. I hardly ever left click on the internet anymore. I think I got that habit back when we had 56k, that way I didn't have to click the back button and wait for the page to load again.
