  • Are you addicted to your computer?

    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 forward it to a friend!

    Thanks Rich. These were funny. At one time I'd have to say I was addicted to mine. Now, I seem to struggle to find time to 'hang out at the computer'.

                  Yes. I think having four of them networked so they can all get on the net at once qualifies. That said, I love the convenience of doing all my banking and so on from home. I have been guitly of warwick getting up at 2 am to go to the loo and saying to me "Are you STILL on the computer -0 go to bed!".

                        3. You decide to stay in college for an additional year or two, just
                        for the free internet access.
                        Guilty. But I do intend to have a job once I'm done. Honest.

                          I would never jeopardize my workday by using the computer at night, or by doing computer non-work on the work clock!com
                          I am NOT an Addict!! Just because I got irate with you for not answering my mail, does not mean I'm hooked on the computer, I'm just suffering from depresion.com
                          And the only reason I don't ever turn it off is because it's better for the computer, not me.com

                          I don't miss it one teeny bit! LOL
                          I can give it up any time I want! LOL

                          You've never complained about my hang out in college libraries, so what's wrong with me taking full advantage of their free PC's???? I get so much more done in 30 minutes because there I don't have to tolerate the slow 28.8 modems some of you have! LOL LOL

                          BTW, please tell the folks we know that don't have computers I'm sending this to them via post (except for Mom). Tell them watch for a letter marked with .

                          BTW, exciting news - I've set up a 1st meeting with Lolagee from myspace.com; I'm so excited to meet my friend in person!! LOL LOL

                          Other news: I'll soon be remodeling the yard as I promised last year.com
                          If you want to help, let me know - you know where I am! LOL

                          And one last thing: If I catch ANY of you whispering around that I'm "in denial", I know where YOU are!!
