I remember the first time you mentioned how many tabs you keep open, I scoffed a bit and thought you were crazy.
Now that AOL has the AOL desktop where I can actually open stuff up in tabbed browsing (I really should use IE, but I grew up on AOL and I'm slow to change), I've gone a bit crazy myself.
I'll open tabs for fic, icons, vids, interesting stuff from my flist and whatever. Plus, I do still sometimes have to have an IE window open with stuff either because LJ is not cooperating with AOL at work (it does that sometimes) or because I'm looking at a vid on Veoh, which does not like AOL. Other than that, I also have a Windows Explorer window open, some kind of media player (two if I'm watching an ep), plus a Word doc and sometimes an Excel.
I have to admit, I so badly miss my double monitors from when I was working in IR. They were both huge 19" monitors and the computer was fast, plus access to the T drive meant I could have whatever opened. The only reason I don't have more open now is because Windows Updater still restarts my computer every other week (I know how to stop it, I just don't) and, as much as I hibernate my computer to move between home and work, it slows way down after awhile.
