File Description: You Know You've Been On The Computer Too Long When...*


   YOU KNOW YOU'VE BEEN ON THE COMPUTER TOO LONG...

      When asked about a bus schedule, you wonder if it
      is 16 or 32 bits.

      When you are counting objects, you go
          "0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,A,B,C,D...".

      When you dream in 256 pallettes of 256 colors.

      When your wife says "If you don't turn off that damn machine and
      come to bed, then I am going to divorce you!", and you chastise
      her for for omitting the "else" clause.

      You try to sleep, and think
           sleep(8 * 3600); /* sleep for 8 hours /

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

      When after fooling around all day with routers etc,
      you pick up the phone and start dialling an IP number...

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

      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.

      When you look for a icon to double-click to open your bedroom
      window.

      When you go to balance your checkbook and discover that you're
      doing the math in octal.

      When you look for a trash can icon for throwing garbage.

=============================================================


Cheers,
Gaelyne
