altezza Veteran Posted July 1, 2003 Veteran Share Posted July 1, 2003 If you did an error-free installation of Windows 95 or 98. When your modem starts smoking. If no one can reach you by phone since your computer is always online. If you log-off your system because it's time to go to work. If you call in sick because you found a great new WWW site. If you can type your top 10 favorite Web sites, by heart. If you can locate a particular home page without using a search engine. If you can write your own html page. If you can access more than 20 erotic no-pay sites. If you download more than 20Mb of from a binary newsgroup, in one session. If while driving down the street, you are confused by the numbers on the houses - they do not appear to be legitimate WWW addresses. When someone tells you to remember something, and you look for File/Save. When you find it easier to dial-up the National Weather Service Weather/your_town/now.html than to simply look out the window. When you start using phrases like: Hungry.must-eat.food.now@home If you have a heart attack when you forgot to pay your phone bill and receive a "pending disconnection of service" notice. When you order most of what you buy ... online. If your fingers quit moving because you've been online for 36 hours. When you find yourself engaged to someone you've never actually met; except through e-mail. When you log-off from a session in your favorite newsgroup... and your log reads: Online time: 56 hours 24 minutes. If your net provider suggests you try a competitor, because you're exceeding 300 hours a month connect time. When you add your third modem and dedicated phone line. When that 112Gb hard drive is full. If 333 MHz is simply too slow. When your desk collapses under the weight of your computer peripherals. When you can access the Net - via your portable and cellular phone. When someone tells you about a great new program and you're very disappointed to find it's on TV. If every sentence you utter begins with, "On the Net..." If you put your e-mail address in the upper left-hand corner of envelopes. If you have your e-mail address printed on your stationary. When you insist on seeing the movie "The Net" -- for the 63rd time. If magazines like "InterNetWorld" are of greater interest than "Playboy" or "Playgirl." If you maintain more than 6 e-mail addresses. If you use more than 20 passwords. If you setup your own Web page. If you setup a Web page for each of your kids ... and your pets. If, instead of a phone number, you ask someone for their e-mail address. If you don't know anyone who DOESN'T have an e-mail addresses. If, to you, 'safe sex' means doing it online. If you convince your mom that she HAS to get online because e-mail is so much cheaper than long distance phone charges. If you can relate to all the above. If you deny these relate to you.
