You know you are addicted to the Internet when...
* Your bookmark takes 15 minutes to scroll from top to bottom.
* Your eyeglasses have a web site burned into them.
* You find yourself brainstorming for new subjects to search.
* All your daydreaming is preoccupied with getting a faster connection to the Internet: 28.8...ISDN...cable modem...T1...T3
* And even your night dreams are in HTML.
* You find yourself typing "com" after every period when
using a word processor.
* You turn off your modem and get this awful empty feeling,
like you just pulled the plug on a loved one.
* You refer to going to the bathroom as downloading.
* You turn on your intercom when leaving the room so you can
hear if new e-mail arrives.
* All of your friends have an @ in their names.
* Your dog has its own home page.
* You check your mail. It says "no new messages." So you
check it again.
* Your phone bill comes to your doorstep in a box.
* You code your homework in HTML and give your instructor the URL.
* You wake up at 3 am to go to the bathroom and stop and
check your e-mail on the way back to bed.
* Your wife makes a new rule: the computer can't come to bed.
* You forget what year it is.
* You start to tilt your head sideways to smile. :-)
* You begin to wonder how on earth your service provider
is allowed to call 200 hours a month "unlimited."
* Your wife says communication is important in a marriage
so you buy another computer and install a second phone
line so the two of you can chat.
* As your car crashes through the guardrail on a
mountain road, your first instinct is to search
for the "back" button.
