You know it is time to reassess your relationship with your computer when....

1. You wake up at 4 O'clock in the morning to go to the 
bathroom and stop to check your email on the way back 
to bed. 

2. You turn off your computer and get an awful empty 
feeling, as if you just pulled the plug on a loved one. 

3. You decide to stay in college for an additional year 
or two, just for the free internet access. 

4. You laugh at people with 28.8 modems. 

5. You start using smileys :-) in your snail mail. 

6. You find yourself typing "com" after every period 
when using a word processor.com 

7. You can't correspond with your mother because she 
doesn't have a computer. 

8. When your email box shows "no new messages" and you 
feel really depressed. 

9. You don't know the gender of your three closest 
friends because they have nondescript screen name and 
you never bothered to ask. 

10. You move into a new house and you decide to 
"Netscape" before you landscape. 

11. Your family always knows where you are. 

12. In real life conversations, you don't laugh, you 
just say "LOL, LOL" 

13. After reading this message, you immediately send 
it to a friend!
