      I sometimes do that. Make sure my system is clean.

      When I get a new computer, I'll use this one for virus-hunting, so I can make a list of them and learn what they all do (I've really only had experience with Trojans).

      Work, gaming, Internet, research, communication. However, the last year if I had to only answer one thing it would be work.

      Also ran a poll similar to this on Computer Hope back in 2003. Results on the below link.

      I use my PC for all of them, but probably games more than most.
      So I voted games.

      I rarely use my computer for school, but when I do, I use an online word processor called Writely ( www.writely.com )

      (recently bought by Google, and now called Google Docs and Spreadsheets)
