You know you are an Internet Junkie when...

When asked to your address, your answer begins with http://
Instead of calling you to dinner, your spouse sends e-mail.
You chat with your fingers, not your mouth.
You use Netscape 4.72, and you check every week whether version 4.73 was released.
You know the difference between Java and Javascript.
Most of your friends have an @ in their names.
In order to watch CNN you move to www.cnn.com
On your business card the e-mail appears before the phone number.
You find yourself typing "com" after every period when using a word processor.com
You check your mail. It says "no new messages." So you check it again.
You can perfectly imitate the sound pattern of your modem connecting to your ISP.
You can think of nineteen keystroke symbols that are far more clever than :-).
You are told about a new program, and you are disappointed to find that it is a TV program.
Not only do you check your email more often than your paper mail, but you remember your network address faster than your postal one.
You wake up at 3 a.m. to go to the bathroom and stop to check your e-mail on the way back to bed.

Ten ways to realize your Internet connection is a little slow
    Text on Web pages display as Morse Code and... Graphics arrive via FedEx. You believe a heavier string might improve your throughput You post a message to your favorite Newsgroup and it displays a week later. Your credit card expires while ordering on-line. Playboy web site exhibits "Playmate of the year"...for 1989. You're still in the middle of downloading that popular new game, "Ping Pong". Everyone you talk to on the 'net phone' sounds like Forrest Gump. You receive e-mails with stamps on them. You click the "Send" button, a little door opens on the side of your monitor and a pigeon flies out.
Top 10 Signs that You've Overdosed on The World Wide Web
    Your opening line is: "So, what's your homepage address?" You see a beautiful sunset, and you half-expect to see "Enhanced for Netscape 4.0" on one of the clouds. You are overcome with disbelief, anger, and finally depressed acceptance when you encounter a Webpage with no links. You felt driven to consult the "Cool Page of the Day" on your wedding day. Your bookmark takes 15 minutes to scroll from top to bottom. You are driving on a dark and rainy night when you hydroplane on a puddle, sending your car careening towards the flimsy guardrail that separates you the precipice of a rocky cliff and certain death, and you desperately look for the "Back" button. You visit "The Really Big Button That Doesn't Do Anything" again and again and again. Your dog has his own webpage. So does your hamster. When you read a magazine, you have an irresistible urge to click on the underlined passages.

ARE YOU AN INTERNET ADDICT


We have designed a brief checklist to determine if you are an addict. Do you:
1) Have twitches of the hand when you walk by your terminal?
2) Check e-mail more than five times a day?
3) Spend more time chatting than eating or sleeping?
4) Surf aimlessly with no direction, if only to be online?
5) Leave your name and information at countless sites if only to hope you'll receive a reply one day from a company you'll never do business with anyway?
6) Log on before important personal habits, such as meal preparation, hygiene or bodily functions?
7) Have red, swollen eyes that hang halfway out of your head?
8) Spend hours online on a holiday from work, where you'd usually be griping about your carpal tunnel syndrome?
9) See smoke arising from your computer or WebTV box?
10) All of the above?
