How many Tabs or programs to you have open on your computer?

[Kuya Dave]

Sadly shelbee currently I have 12tabs in chrome 7 in firefox and 4 in another chrome. and about 12 programs running. in the tasbar and then by the clock i have 7 hidden.

this is my light duty... since i rebooted earlier.
& yet have i got taxes done, insurance report, k1 process or scripting & few other things that must be done... HELP I get sidetracked easy and never in the mood.

This is way to funny. I have finally found a place that I actually feel like I belong. I am ADHD dyslexic and and I forgot what all they said.hmmmm you gotta hate when that happens. My daughter just got the Dr's report ADHD OCD and backing talkwords as well.
Hi I am terry and I am all of the above. I actually just counted and i ahve 22 open.....lol My wife gets mad and asks me why do you always have all those tabs open. You can't possibly be looking at all of them. And I love spell correct.....lol

On a brighter note I was the only one who could write Merry Christmass in the display windows....lol

Let's see... 5 tabs on firefox, 3 on ie, 9 functional programs running (the rest are system files/programs). Two non-alcoholic drinks going, just closed my winamp & turned the T.V. off, as I have my iPod running. <wink> (oh yes, plus I have 24 rooms open + several PM's on two IRC servers)

I am soo far behind all of you because of my connection lol

 

[wader2k]

Amateurs all!

I just trimmed my Firefox tabs down to 52 open tabs set as my Home Pages.....down from 74.

Seriously. 8-o

Wait.....so this means I'm ADHD?

ps. I LOVE tabbed browsing!

 

[Kuya Dave]

Tabbed browsing rules. Hope page I don't like All my pages opening right away.
But I have crashed ff & chrome and IE so many times with how I run tabs

 

[mmmelaney]

Are you kidding me? I have gone way beyond tabbed browsing. In Firefox I have installed 3 extensions that allow me to really indulge my sidetracked ways.

In ReadItLater I have over 600 of links saved that I will probably never actually read later.

In Too Many Tabs I have 15 sub toolbars with at least 30 saved tabs each that I need to get back to (thats 450 tabs.)

And last, I use Taboo to save screen prints of pages that I can search for useful information I've found. There are hundreds of pages saved in there.

Oh and I almost forgot about Evernote where I save notes about things I'm looking up.

I actually organize my distractions!

 

[mmmelaney]

I guess I just find that I really need things to be in my face in order to remember to get back to them. If I close my tabs I won't remember to finish what I was working on. That's my theory on why we have so many "piles" of things to do everywhere.

I actually enjoy my piles because often, if I wait long enough to get back to them, the task has taken care of itself and no longer needs to be dealt with. I can throw the piles or tabs away.

Awful, I know but I am surprised at how often it works.

 

[ZambucaLu]

12, minimum. That is usually 3 browsers with 4 tabs each. I only allow 4 tabs on each browser because I'm working on a netbook and it looks too crowded up there with any more than that. Oh, and I always have the TV on in the background.

- IE 2 tabs
- Chrome 3 tabs
- MS OL 3 tabs
- Excel 2 tabs
- Lotus Notes 3 tabs
- Office Communicator 2 tabs
- TweetDeck 5 tabs

[Meggalette]

4 tabs on Opera, 7 tabs IE, XBox360 running netflix(watching torchwood), blackjack running facebook app. Nevermind the kids running ps3, nintendo ds, and kidzui browser on pc (which I have to police all of them at one time, they are all under 12 years old)!

 

[Spankmeister]

Answer:
Too many to mention...LOL
While at work I have, at minimum, 35.
Many are multi-tabbed programs, like my custom MMC that has AD(Users and Computers, Sites and Services and Domains and Trusts), Group Policy Editor, DNS, DHCP, Exchange 2003 (for our public folder environment), a remote desktop area with 50+ servers that I connect to and Computer Management.
At least 3 or 4 Windows Explorer windows open.
Multiple Excel (Budgets, YAY!...not), Word (Project Management, YAY!...not), OneNote (Best App in MS Office suite, bar none) and PowerPoint.
Multiple apps for different tasks like Konica Minolta Data Administrator, RAdmin, IE, Chrome, Acrobat, CMD prompt, Sharepoint Designer and Reflections Virtual Desktop to name a few.

All those are just what is open at the current time, I did reboot recently, so that list does grow and grow and grow and grow...LOL

 

[extolrox]

gots 17 tabs up and 2 games (MMOs) that I am swaping back and forth with

 

[stressfreesoul]

I usually have about 3 Firefox windows with about 10-15 tabs each and most of the time they are accompanied by 2 or three other programs. I also never work on just one machine, most of the time I have at least 2 running at once (file server on Ubuntu and laptop on 7 are the usual culprits...).

 

[McVapor]

Just for the record, I have 3 monitors, each with full windows and 4 virtual desktops to supply that. all always filled. Thats my ADHD

 

[Raudoc]

OK i cant do what i like to do as i dont have the equipment to do so. but when i do have it all set up i will have 2 towers runnign on 4 monitors running 3 MMOs and surfing the web with several tabbs and have a TV going and maybe my own personal music playing in the background on either my iPod or on one of the towers. did i mention that the MMOs were all the same just runnign multipull accounts at once and playing them all activly?? now i have the laptop that im using and if i ever get my towers back up and running then i will have to add mor things to do along side what i have allredy listed.
