Your Friend the Computer

You know it is time to reassess your relationship with
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 an 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 laugh at people with 28.8 modems.

5. You start using smileys :) in your snail mail.

6. You find yourself typing "com" after every period when using a word
processor.com

7. You can't correspond with your mother because she doesn't have a
computer.

8. When your email box shows "no new messages" and you feel really
depressed.

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

10. You move into a new house and you decide to "Netscape" before you
landscape.

11. Your family always knows where you are.

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

13. After reading this message, you immediately forward it to a friend!
 
That's not me!

*hides Internet time sheet behind back*

Nope!

*wildly erases post totals*

I'm never on the thing.

*bribes witnesses*

You hardly know me, cause I rarely post.

*sneaks off with computer*

I've never cybered my pentium processor either. At least not more than once. A night. Hey, midnight divides the day, so it's actually two nights ya know.
 
I am such an internet junkie. When my old Power Mac finally gave up the ghost, I lasted 5 days & then bought a PC. I have to have my computer. On the nights I can't sleep, there is always someone out there to talk to. I talk to my sister & niece for hours in a friend's chatroom & I check the email all day long when I am home.
 
On a slightly more serious note...

...I have found that the use of the internet, e-mails, chat rooms, bulletin boards and the like are becoming increasingly popular among the elderly.

And I don't mean the under 65s either. Much older people have found the technology easy and fun to use and the answer to hours of loneliness.

More power to our 'puters...
 
Most of those apply to me. Though I dont check my mail at 4am unless I am still online at that time. :D
 
S'okay there's time to get help...

Well, everyone of them apply to me..I freely admit it. I am an addict and I dont want to find a cure.

Heheh. I've told a few people through IMs lately that I really do say "LOL" in real life even though I don't.
