YOU KNOW YOU ARE A COMPUTER ADDICT WHEN...

1: You wake up at 3:00AM to go to the bathroom and you stop and check your e-mail on the way through.
2: You get a tattoo that reads: This body best viewed with Internet Explorer 5.0 or better.
3: You name a child explorer, mozilla, or outlook express.
4: You turn off your computer and get this empty lonely feeling like you just pulled the plug on a loved one's life support system.
5: You spend 7 hours driving around trying to find a 12 volt adapter for your laptop so going shopping will be more productive.
6: You stay in college for an additional year or two for the free internet access.
7: You laugh at people with 28.8 modems and wonder how evolution actually occurred.
8: You start using smileycons in your responses at the other tech site (which shall remain nameless).
9: You find yourself typing com after every period when using your word processor.

12: Your friends all have @ in their names.
13: Your family pet has it's own web page.
14: Your excuse for not calling your relatives is: they don't have a modem.
15: You check your e-mail, it says you have no new messages, so you check it again.
16: Your phone bill is the lowest in the neighborhood because you cant get off the computer long enough to make long distance calls.
17: When filling out applications you write your address as johndoe@alwaysfreakingonline.net, and your qualifications as your system's components.
18: You get to know your tech support agent better than your own wife.
19: You dream in 16-bit color.

27. You sit in the dark doing stuff on your computer and if you need more light in the room, you open up a blank internet explorer browser.

My wife complains constantly because I have the window open in the office and she gets cold. I'm going to move her computer to a different room during the Christmas holidays.

And I thought I was the only one who checked my email at 3 in the morning.

With 2 monitors in the office, there really is no need for the lights to be turned on.

Like.... "That girl's got a gig of @55"

[nealric]

I almost had a heart attack when some ppl I was doing a job for took the 8gig drive I had just replaced and chucked it in the trash can. Luckily it was full of paper. Its now my backup drive :D

[Yodums]

I'm currently a victim of #1... rite now... at 3am too!

36. You can easily justify having 3 computers on line in your living room to your wife and secretly want four because your router has four connections.

37. You spend more time in Forums reading and posting messages then you spend talking to your wife.

38. You ask for 512Meg of DDR 3500 for Christmas so you can have the old 256Meg of DDR 3200 for your secret rig (now as soon as the 1700+ "B" TBread comes out your ready!)
