What’s the first thing you do when you open your computer? I know some people who are music fanatics that they listen to their favorite songs once they open their PCs… and there are some who just play solitaire and goes on and on. When I turn on my PC for the first time in the morning and before I go to work, I check my email and then I open www.mylot.com and start checking if I have new friend requests, new replies to my discussions and post new ones if I think some. How about you?

The very first thing I do when I am online is to login mylot.com. during my spare time. I can see mine and my friends’ discussions and other new discussions on my home page. I feel satisfied even though I don’t have time to any further mylotting then. Other than that I will check my mail box, to read and send emails. I do like to read news, market watch from our local newspapers.

The first thing I do when I open the computer is after the ant-virus comes on is to read my Bible. I have the Esword program on it and I am going through two chapters a day. After than it is time for myLotting. So I open up my Slimbrowser first start commenting on a response to one of my posts and then start responding as well as answering mail. I know I should post, but right now I am still a bit sleepy.

Like you, I fist of all check my gmail. There I find the position about my posts and the posts which I had replied, then I see if there is any PM for me. I check out my PMs first and I move on to the discussions. My practice remains the same each day.

well i do have to admit that i really do not ever close my computer. but as to the answer to your question, i can say that the first thing that i do each morning when i seat by my computer, is to check my e mail inbox. all of the people that know me, know that this is the first thing i do in the morning when i wake up, so they also have the fastest way to inform me of the most urgent issues, by knowing the exact media i use.

The first thing I do when I power up my computer is closing down a ton of errors. Then I log onto my MSN, check my e-mail and visit myLot. I browse myLot for about half an hour or an hour and then check out various forums and do other various "mischievous" tasks.

I usually switch on winamp and play music and then check out my mail. The rest is just a random sequence of events with no order!

Well my schedule is; I first check my e-mail, then my Windows Media Player and play some music, then check my balances in the accounts I have in the bank! Then I check my appointments I have for my band, to see if I need to work on some songs! Then I spend a couple of hours looking on the internet for; used cars that are low priced that I can resell; check on my bids on E-bay that I have made on musical equipment; check on bankrate.com to see if the interest on savings accounts and CD's have gone up,; then go to work with the computers at the tax office for 6 hrs! I come home and check my e-mails again, go to myfamily.com and catch up with any new information (i am one of the administrators), and then settle down and catch up on the mylot discussions! By that time I am pretty sleepy!! If I am not sleepy, I play a couple of games of freecell, and spider solitaire, and solitaire!!
