What's the first thing you do or check when you turn on your computer/monitor?

[kdub wB]

So here is a curiosity, what is the first thing you do when you turn on that computer/monitor?

Example: Go on AIM?, Log on to EdgeGamers Organization?, Youtube?, Start Gaming? Check out car forums? Or any particular forums or site?

Whatever you do, just list it.

Start up steam, then see who's on. Then open up my browser, and last itunes

 

[Useful Idiot]

If my computer is on, but my monitor was shut off, I open my browser.

If my computer was off, I fire up all 3 F@H gpu clients.

Open steam and MSN messenger as well as firefox.

 

[SScagnetti]

I first check in on the Half-Life Wiki due to the fact that I am a sysop on there so I need to see if anything needs taking care of, then I check in here and a GMod community I am part of. Then I check my email and turn on Steam to see whats on there. After that it's whatever I want.

Look down at my phone.

I then load up tunes, and short after that, game.
