You
Know You Are
An E-mail
Addict When...
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.
You
get a tattoo that reads "This body best viewed with Internet Explorer
2.0 or higher."
You
name your children Eudora, Mozillia and Dotcom.
You
turn off your modem and get this awful empty feeling, like you just
pulled the plug on a loved one.
You
spend half the plane trip with your laptop on your lap and your
child in the overhead compartment.
You
decide to stay in college for an additional year or two, just for
the free Internet access.
You
laugh at people with 9600-baud modems.
You
start using smilies in snail mail.
Your
hard drive crashes. You haven't logged in for two hours. You start
to twitch. You pick up the phone and manually dial your ISP's access
number. You try to hum to communicate with the modem .... and you
succeed.
You
find yourself typing "com" after every period when using a word
processor.com
You
refer to going to the bathroom as "downloading."
You
start introducing yourself as "JohnDoe at AOL dot com."
Your
cat has its own home page.
All
of your friends have an @ in their names.
You
can't call your mother .... she doesn't have a modem.
You
check your e-mail. It says "No new messages." So you check it again.
Your
phone bill comes to your doorstep in a box.
You
don't know what sex three of your closest friends are because they
have neutral nicknames and you never bothered to ask.
You
move into a new house and decide to Netscape before you landscape.
You
tell the cab driver you live at http://1000.Madison.ridge/house/brick.html"
You
get up at 4:45 am and login so you can use the computer before your
husband gets up and hogs it for the rest of the day!
Pass
This Along To All Your Friends!
