Quick survey for my new program

Hey guys,
Lately I've been lacking in inspiration, but I would really like to be making and creating a program right now. Unfortunately I have no ideas, and this quick survey would really help out. If you could just copy the questions and fill in the answers, I'd be really happy  smile

1. How many hours/minutes do you spend on your computer daily?
2. How much of that time do you spend on the internet?
3. How much of that time do you spend using other programs?
4. What is your largest activity other than the internet, on your computer?
5. What is the most annoying feature / missing feature on your computer?
5. Is there a program you'd really like to see, but haven't found? What is it?

Thanks!
