I find that ERiC's tally has left out my two hours' commute time (by bus
and foot) and the time I need for such annoying yet necessary tasks as
washing the dishes, running errands, and vacuuming huge wads of cat hair
off the furniture. Fortunately for me, I can combine my work time and net
time, so I still come out a couple hours ahead.

who doesn't think four hours' free time is all that much anyway, given
that hunters and gatherers only spend a few hours a day on subsistence
activities (our work + food). But then, they don't have computers to
support.
