I run loads of programs at once so only a PC will satisfy my online needs

I usually use mine for gaming, but on occasion I'll use the Internet Channel, Photo Channel, and Everbody Votes.

I mostly play games on my Wii. I mean, I do think the Vote Channel is fun sometimes and I do use the web browser from time to time, but nothing special.

well, sometimes i use nintendo channel to see new games out (whether or not you think it as indirect use of gaming) and then there's mail, to my friends locally. And there's always gaming, gaming and well.. more gaming, more gaming and of course... intense rushes of gaming that can last for days...
Should I feel bad if I want everything to become ice cream?

i don't use it for anything else. This is mainly because I don't have neither an internet connection for it, nor a way to get photos, etc. onto my Wii.

I enjoy the News Channel. Checking the weather on the Wii is a bit worthless, though. I also use the Internet pretty frequently. When having to do something, it's nice to have a playlist going with your music. At least, for someone like me, who's never owned an MP3 player, it's nice to be able to play the music.

I am unique, I use my Wii for picture viewing, and playing around with it, you can mess people's faces up and distort them whatever. it is funny.

i honestly would love to get linux on for wii, but lack of a high def output detours the idea since an apple tv or mac mini would be a better choice, and easier to do for small media boxes. and the fact that it is my parents system i don't want to brick it on them. that would be an expensive paperweight. :X

Besides the traditional NES and Mega Drive gaming using homebrew emulators, I do occasionally use the Wii for non-gaming purposes, like a quick text editor. I'm even being tempted to use it as a web server later.

Personally, I don't. I find the interface a lot less accessible than my computer. Furthermore, my Wii sits underneath my desk, and the monitor I use is right next to my Mac. My Mac is faster and has more features that are useful to me than the Wii's Home Menu.On a slightly irrelevant note, I think the 3DS' Home Menu and media hub will be quite useful to me. 'Specially if the rumors about social networking apps being on it are true (i.e. Twitter and facebook).

i use mine mainly for gaming but i go on the internet sometimes to find pictures to draw, check stuff, and go on youtube. but without a keyboard, going on the internet on the wii is kind of slow...
