I use my 3 desktops for the following, watching the weather (I am a weather nut) listening to music, running virtual machines including the twenty year old Amiga OS. I have several OS of Windows for answering questions and providing screenshots. I edit photos, music tracks, record CD's read technical forums on computers, electronics, palaeontology, geology and so on. I have written many letters and created birthday cards etc. I even play light casual games. My computers get plenty of good use. Yes I even have 2 machines that are used as DVR's recording stuff off of the air TV and yes I watch stuff on Netflix (have you ever watched TV in the USA?) NBC News program lasting thirty mins, 15 mins of commerciasl, 2 mins of coming up after the break and the rest is "news" suitable for anyone with a "10 second attention span". Surfing multiple websites on the three screens.
News from the BBC mostly. Watching DVD's I like the automatic upscaling and the ability to play US and UK discs in 2 inexpensive Asus DVD burner drives. So yes I use my machines for real uses not Toy Town computing.
