Usually 2-3 times a day. I would like to check it every hour, and do sometimes, when I have nothing else to do, but with everything else in life, its not possible to be on PT *all* the time. I *have* to check it out first thing in the morning, at least once in the afternoon, and right before bed, everyday though. I was going through serious withdrawals while we were moving this weekend. It was hard. Now its hard surfing PT on dial up. Hopefully we'll have DSL again tomorrow.
