It
is time to turn off your computer if:
-
You wake up at 3 am to go to the bathroom
and stop to check your e-mail on the way back to bed.
-
You name your first two children "Eudora"
and "Dotcom".
-
You turn off your modem and get this
awful empty feeling, as if you'd just pulled the plug on a loved one.
-
You spend half of the plane trip with
your laptop on your lap and your child in the overhead compartment.
-
You decide to stay in college for an
additional year or two, just for the free Internet access.
-
You laugh at people with 14.4-baud
modems.
-
You start using smileys in your snail
mail.
-
You find yourself typing "com" after
every period when using a work processor.com
-
You can't call your mother; she doesn't
have a modem.
-
You check your mail. It says
"no new messages"; so you check it again.
-
You don't know what gender three of
your closest friends are, because they have neutral screen names and you
never bothered to ask.
-
You move into a new house and decide
to Netscape before you Landscape.
-
You tell the cab driver you live at
http://1000.garden/house/brick.html
-
You start tilting your head sideways
to smile.
Any others are welcome.
Please send them to me.
