Open the terminal and type 'uptime'.

uptime is the time it has been on since the last boot. It's not the total time it has been on.

Which reminds me... Is there another nifty tool that can do this? I remember Micromat's Techtool could report this info.

Well, yes, TTP and many other tools can display that, but you must also remember that a PRAM reset or NVRAM reset resets that number to zero, so it isn't in any way a reliable "odometer" of lifetime uptime.

The freeware UptimeInMenuBar may be your answer.

I believe if you look at the logs from the monthly maintence that cron does, it reports the total logged-in time of any and all users for the previous month. So I guess you could add them up and keep a running total
