I am Orthodox, so no, i do not use the internet on Shabbat. And good thing, because i am an Internet Addict, and Shabbat is the only thing that will stop me.

For Jews who are shomer shabbat, internet use is, of course, forbidden.
For those who are not, anything goes I suppose.
Personally, I observe the former.

No, I don't. I'm Orthodox.
But I make up for it the other six days of the week.

Yes, I do. Sabbath is supposed to be a day of relaxation and the Internet is how I can relax without having to travel somewhere.

That would depend on if you are orthodox or not and if you really believe it makes a difference one way or the other.

Yup. (Hangs head.) But I'm also using it to help catch up on Torah study from the previous week.
Edit: I ultimately don't think it really matters to my observance either.

I'm not a Jew - so I shouldn't answer!
But I'm aiming for the 'best answer' just to maintain an increasing score!

No, I'm Orthodox.
What was the point of this question, if I may ask?
