  • You Know Your a Computer Addict When - Your stationery is more cluttered
    than Warren Beatty's address book. The letterhead lists a fax number, e-mail
    addresses for two on-line services, and your Internet address, which spreads
    across the breadth of the letterhead and continues to the back. In essence,
    you have conceded that the first page of any letter you write
    *is*letterhead.
    You Know Your a Computer Addict When - You have never sat through an entire
    movie without having at least one device on your body beep or buzz.

    office as "friends," but you forget to send your father a birthday card.

    rates.
    You Know Your a Computer Addict When - When you go into a computer store,
    you eavesdrop on a salesperson talking with customers -- and you butt in to
    correct him and spend the next twenty minutes answering the customers'
    questions, while the salesperson stands by silently, nodding his head.
    You Know Your a Computer Addict When - You use the phrase "digital
    compression" in a conversation without thinking how strange your mouth feels
    when you say it.
    You Know Your a Computer Addict When - You constantly find yourself in
    groups of people to whom you say the phrase "digital compression." Everyone
    understands what you mean, and you are not surprised or disappointed that
    you don't have to explain it.
    You Know Your a Computer Addict When - You know Bill Gates' e-mail address,
    but you have to look up your own social security number.
    You Know Your a Computer Addict When - You stop saying "phone number" and
    replace it with "voice number," since we all know the majority of phone
    lines in any house are plugged into contraptions that talk to other
    contraptions.
    You Know Your a Computer Addict When - You sign Christmas cards by putting
    :) next to your signature.
    You Know Your a Computer Addict When - Off the top of your head, you can
    think of nineteen keystroke symbols that are far more clever than :).

    minipads for her at the store and you return with a rest for your mouse.
    You Know Your a Computer Addict When - You think jokes about being unable to
    program a VCR are stupid.
    You Know Your a Computer Addict When - On vacation, you are reading a
    computer manual and turning the pages faster than everyone else who is
    reading John Grisham novels.
    You Know Your a Computer Addict When - The thought that a CD could refer to
    finance or music rarely enters your mind.
    You Know Your a Computer Addict When - You are able to argue persuasively
    the Ross Perot's phrase "electronic town hall" makes more sense than the
    term "information superhighway," but you don't because, after all, the man
    still uses hand-drawn pie charts.
    You Know Your a Computer Addict When - You go to computer trade shows and
    map out your path of the exhibit hall in advance. But you cannot give
    someone directions to your house without looking up the street names.
    You Know Your a Computer Addict When - You would rather get more dots per
    inch than miles per gallon.
    You Know Your a Computer Addict When - You become upset when a person calls
    you on the phone to sell you something, but you think it's okay for a
    computer to call and demand that you start pushing buttons on your telephone
    to receive more information about the product it is selling.
    You Know Your a Computer Addict When - You know without a doubt that disks

    "intriguing" fellow.
    You Know Your a Computer Addict When - You own a set of itty-bitty
    screw-drivers and you actually know where they are.
    You Know Your a Computer Addict When - While contemporaries swap stories
    about their recent hernia surgeries, you compare mouse-induced index-finger
    strain with a nine-year-old.
    You Know Your a Computer Addict When - You are so knowledgeable about
    technology that you feel secure enough to say "I don't know" when someone
    asks you a technology question instead of feeling compelled to make
    something up.
    You Know Your a Computer Addict When - You rotate your screen savers more
    frequently than your automobile tires.
    You Know Your a Computer Addict When - You have a functioning home copier
    machine, but every toaster you own turns bread into charcoal.
    You Know Your a Computer Addict When - You have ended friendships because of
    irreconcilably different opinions about which is better -- the track ball or
    the track *pad*.
    You Know Your a Computer Addict When - You understand all the jokes in this
    message. If so, my friend, technology has taken over your life. We suggest,
    for your own good, that you go lie under a tree and write a haiku. And don't
    use a laptop.
    You Know Your a Computer Addict When - You email this message to your
    friends over the net. You'd never get around to showing it to them in person
    or reading it to them on the phone.

Baud rates? Trackballs vs track pads?

Something tells me that this is about as old as the Internet.

You know you're a computer addict when you continue to repeat things that you found in your email, despite everyone else telling you they've seen it a thousand times already.
