Oh, that is just so tempting! Actually, that's what I got in trouble for the last time. I'd opened the streaming quotes on Scottrade and then when I went to our intranet home page, the java applet was still running somehow in the background, even though I'd closed the streaming quotes window. I was asked later if the 300+ minutes for that week might have been accurate. :o
It helps to know that they might be just assuming the amount of time spent on each webpage and then extrapolating a total from the number of refreshes (if I'm understanding what you said correctly). If that's the case, then I can work with that. I'll check with my buddy and see. In that case, all I have to do is insist that their reported time is incorrect, because sometimes I just load a page long enough to see if I have any new email or messages. I don't even have to explain the last part, just knowing how they're calculating it gives me enough info to insist the report is incorrect. Sounds like they don't even have a way to prove otherwise.
