    iChat: 4+ windows

    iTunes: playing mp3s for days at a time

    Safari: bunch of tabs normally, often a couple of windows each with tabs

    Word: various asignments

    Appleworks/TextEdit: lab report/notes

    Stickes: stuff I really should do but don't want to

    Mulberry (email client): my mailbox has 2600 messages, various bboards with 20-14,000 messages, checking every 5 min

    Mail (sometimes, for a couple of other accounts)

    Terminal: all sorts of stuff



    Occasional: bittorrent or poisoned might be open, Preview if my teachers are smart enough to give us things as .pdf rather than .doc.



    On an iBook G3 700, two monitors with the spanning hack.
