1. Well, depends on if you count as just being on my computer while having sites open as being on the net (since I'll always have something open at work) in that case at least 12 hours, otherwise only about 1-2 hours, since I just flick between things at work.

5. 287. Only like 50 are ever online... I need to go through and clean out the people I haven't talked to in years.
