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.
