It stays on, so will I. Christmas doesn't mean much to me.

What if were using a Mac? :p
Yes mine'll be on. My PC I only turn off while I'm in school during the day, so it's going to be on during Christmas break. My iMac will probably be on during some point in the day.

Doesn't matter what day it is to me, I need my fix. Even if its just a quick one! :D
I've got computers all over the house, I couldn't resist turning at least one on!

Definitely on. Doesn't mean I'll spend a lot of time on it but definitely on. Will try and sneak some time to read blogs, ngs, forums, etc. It's a holiday, right, so why not enjoy it?!

I expect mine will be on at some point, although the beery haze will probably restrict it to unconstructive uses. Such as answering silly trivia questions. Merry Christmas everyone.

the computer will be on as it never gets turned off unless theres a power cut or i'm going on holiday for a while. i probably won't go near it though. after the turkey, brussel sprouts, cake and various other festive foods and drinks i don't think i'll be moving from the couch.

Heh..my machine stays booted all the time, though I do log off from my account. So I probably won't log in that day.

The computer at my parents house will be on. I have my daily rounds to click through. My personal computer in Atlanta got turned off when I drove up here (Maryland).
So, sadly I am confined to either Win98 or Windows XP Media Center edition, no Ubuntu for me (unless I throw in the LiveCD I carry around :twisted: ). At least the media center computer has a nice shiny new dual core processor 8)

I'll be too drunk not to screw up something. The answer is no.
