    You know you're addicted to your computer when:
    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 this 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 can't correspond with your mother because she doesn't have a computer.

    5.You don't know the gender of your three closest friends because they have nondescript screen names and you never bothered to ask

    6.In real life conversations, you don't laugh, you just say "LOL,LOL"

    7.When you are reading a book and look for the scroll bar to get to the next page.

    8.When you get in the elevator and double-click the button for the floor you want.

    9.When not only do you check your email more often than your paper mail, but you remember your network address faster than your postal one.

    10. Your opening line is: "So, what's your homepage address?"

    11. When you read a magazine, you have an irresistible urge to click on the underlined passages.

    12.When someone yells out "What's for supper?" you do a search for SUPPER.COM.

    13.The optometrist looks deep in your eyes, and sees a screen saver.

    14.If while driving down the street, you are confused by the numbers on the houses - they do not appear to be legitimate WWW addresses.

    15.When you find it easier to dial-up the National Weather Service Weather/your_town/now.html than to simply look out the window.

    16.You step out of your room and realize that your parents have moved and you don't have a clue as to when it happened.

    17.You tell the kids they can't use the computer because "Daddy's got work to do" -- even though you don't have a job.

    18.You get a tattoo that says "This body best viewed with Netscape 3.0 or higher."
