It's Time To Turn Your Computer Off & Read A Book When.....

 1.  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.

 2.  Your name your children, Eudora, AOL and dot com.

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

 4.  You spend half of the plane trip with your laptop on your lap...and
     your child in the overhead compartment.

 5.  You decide to stay in college for an additional year or two, just for
     the free internet access.

 6.  You laugh at people with 14.4-baud modems.

 7.  You start using smileys in your snail mail.

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

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

10.  You check your mail.  It says "no new messages."  So you check it
     again.

11.  You don't know what gender three of your closest friends are, because
     they have neutral screen names and you never bothered to ask.

12.  You move into a new house and decide to Netscape before you
     Landscape.

13.  You tell the cab driver you live at
     http://1000.edison.garden/house/brick.html

14.  You start tilting your head sideways to smile.

15.  After reading this message, you immediately e-mail it to a friend!
