You know you're a computer junkie when:

YOU KNOW YOU ARE A COMPUTER ADDICT WHEN...

1: You wake up at 3:00AM to go to the bathroom and you stop and check your e-mail on the way through.

2: You get a tattoo that reads: This body best viewed with Internet Explorer
6.0 or better.

3: You name a child explorer, mozilla, or outlook express.

4: You turn off your computer and get this empty lonely feeling like you just pulled the plug on a loved one's life support system.

5: You spend 7 hours driving around trying to find a 12 volt adapter for your laptop so going shopping will be more productive.

6: You stay in college for an additional year or two for the free internet access.

7: You laugh at people with 28.8 modems and wonder how evolution actually occurred.

8: You start using smileycons in your responses at the other tech site (which shall remain nameless).

9: You find yourself typing com after every period when using your word processor.

10: You refer to going to the bathroom as downloading or streaming audio.

11: You start introducing yourself as johndoe@alwaysfreakingonline.net.

12: Your friends all have @ in their names.

13: Your family pet has it's own web page.

14: Your excuse for not calling your relatives is: they don't have a modem.

15: You check your e-mail, it says you have no new messages, so you check it again.

16: Your phone bill is the lowest in the neighborhood because you cant get off the computer long enough to make long distance calls.

17: When filling out applications you write your address as johndoe@alwaysfreakingonline.net, and your qualifications as your system's components.

18: You get to know your tech support agent better than your own wife.

19: You dream in 16-bit color.

20: You spend most of your honeymoon formatting your hard drive and reinstalling Windows.

21: You take your laptop to the Ball Game.

22: You refer to Microsoft using an uncomplimentary name.

23: You buy your toothpaste and toilet paper on-line.

24: You wonder if they'll ever bring back the Commodore 64.

25: You are relatively sure this may have been posted before, but don't care because you are actually trying to provide humor and a laugh, when someone gets all excited that they posted the same thing three years ago, and of course it was theirs originally and that makes them such a better person than you...

A modem is no longer needed, but they must have Email, Messneger and a Myspace page to keep in touch.........

I can make calls while being online, that was one of the reasons I went to highspeed...... But I can't type emails, in messenger chats and talk on the phone at the same time. I will hang up from my next door neighbor, so we can chat on messenger..........

32 bit is so much better, billions of colors vs millions.
