Crikey, the reason I haven't ever bothered registering on the Org until recently is because between:

--work
--TW series
--wife
--2 small children

who has the time!?!! Something has to give ... and for me, mostly it's sleep.

I agree that a real help is to get a really good laptop -- that way after the kids are in the bed, you can sit with the wife on the sofa, and surf the net, balance the chequebook, chat with the wife, pretend to pay attention to her awful taste in television, and occasionally .... try to sack Rome.
