Top ways to know if you are addicted to the Internet.

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

2.  You turn off your modem and get this awful empty feeling, like you just pulled the plug on a loved one.

3.  You start introducing yourself as "Jon at I-I Net dot com"

4.  Your wife drapes a blond wig over your monitor to remind you what she looks like.

5.  All of your friends have an @ in their names.

6.  You can't call your mother...she doesn't have a modem.

7.  Your phone bill comes to your doorstep in a box.

8.  You laugh at people with 2400 baud modems.

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

10.  You refer to going to the bathroom as downloading.

11.  You tell the cab driver you live at http://123.elm.street/house/bluetrim.html

12.  Your spouse makes a new rule:  "The computer cannot come to bed."

13.  You ask the plumber how much it would cost to replace the chair in front of your computer with a commode.

14.  You start tilting your head sideways to smile.  :^)

15.  You turn on your computer, and turn off your spouse.

16.  Your best friend is someone you've never met.

17.  Your spouse says communication is important in a marriage...so you buy another computer, and install a second phone line so the two of you can  chat.

18.  You begin to wonder how on earth your service provider is allowed to call 200 hours per month "unlimited".

19.  Your dog has its own home page.

20.  So does your goldfish.
