Just an idle question. Guaranteed not to be statistically valid.

I use a desktop computer because I much prefer to type on a real, full size keyboard. Also, a large screen is nice for tired eyes and mind. So of course I'm only logging in at home.
Thanks for this!

I also log in at home, usually from my bedroom. I also have a laptop but it's pretty stationary on the kitchen table. I come here at night while trying to unwind and sort myself out..

I use tapatalk, on my phone. My old laptop crashed a few years ago and this was an option. I have come to prefer this even with another laptop in the home now. I have a rather decent sized phone screen. No complaints. It's convenient. Certainly, there's missing features compared to the actual site and I don't log in through the site often-missing adding images and hello's to walls but overall a decent alternative.
Thanks for this!

I use my laptop and desktop equally. Like the OP, I like the full sized keyboard/monitor of my desktop.
Thanks for this!

I just come here through the internet on my smart phone. I like it better than when I tried using tapatalk.

My old computer died & my phone was my only source. Haveva new desktop now but my phone is still nicer as I can be comfortable in bed using it

Primarily my phone. Occasionally I will pull it up on a computer for typing a more long winded response, but rarely.
Thanks for this!

The desktop, I tried using the phone a few times but it does not feel the same.

I use the app on my phone. I think I miss some conversation threads this way though. I try to check in on my computer sometimes too.
Thanks for this!

I use both desktop and iPhone but prefer the desktop again because of the size of screen and keyboard. Trying to tap out messages on those little tiny iPhone keys is maddening, and if I hit something wrong which is very easy to do, it takes me out of the screen I'm in and I have a terrible time trying to get back in to it.

Good question!
Thanks for this!

Desktop and phone. I find the latter to be more convenient since I can lay on my bed and read threads here.
Thanks for this!

I typically use my laptop! I find it the most comfortable option for me.
