Okay, it's summer time. So, due to a lack of school and homework, I should logically have more time with the computer, right?
WRONG!
As is a tradition in my home, we unplug the television for summer. Up until now, this hasn't been a problem.
However, for some reason, people have decided that they get to use the family computer more frequently now. Thus encroaching on my time (a few people've probably noticed that I'm here, like, never these days).
Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can reclaim what is rightfully mine? Or should I just wait for college to start again so that I can have the time to come here?

Ah, but you forget: I have to live with these people.

Get a job and buy your own computer.

More computers. Just buy a cheap, bare-bones one to get you online.

That would be the logical conclusion, wouldn't it? Perhaps after I finish paying for college....in about three years....then this'll cease to be a problem! ;D

How to monopolize your PC in 3 short steps:
1- Pour Orange Fanta (or Sunkist, or Orange Crush, or some generic orange soda) into a 1 quart glass bowl.
2- Immerse your fingers (all 10) in the bowl for 8 minutes.
3- With your fingers still wet, type on your PC's keyboard, making sure to hit every key at least twice.
After this is over, make sure everyone else gets a turn at the computer, maximizing their stickiness access quotient.
Problem solved.

Threaten them! Surround the computer all day, every day. . . Refuse to eat or drink and use the bathroom only when you absolutely need to! If anyone in your family gets on while you are away, go for the throat! YOU NEED TACTICS HERE!
Or just borrow a friends computer.
