How many tabs do you have open?
The kids are always telling me off for the amount of tabs I have open due to multi tasking 
Noticing a slight decrease in speed, I had a quick count and currently have 36 tabs open in Chrome as well as Excel, Photoshop, Word, Adobe reader, Notepad, Powerpoint, Taskmanager and Skype
I'm sure this is normal? How many tabs & programs do you have open?

Normal for women who are famous for their ability to multi task.
The rest of us mere mortals like me I suspect 4 or 5 is reaching the limit.

Re: How many tabs do you have open?
I normally use Firefox but use Chrome for Hungarian sites or for forum sites if I want to see what a post looks like when not logged in. I also try to keep it down to about 6 open tabs per browser. At the moment there are 32 icons on the desktop but I do have a lot of Firefox bookmarks, probably about 200.

Re: How many tabs do you have open?
I have 35 shortcuts but only use 4 regularly.
I rarely have more than 3 tabs open at any one time.
Do I get a gold star then?

I changed the rules Consolation for the complex I gained and the knowledge that the kids are right.
