It's time to turn your computer off when. . .

You wake up at 3 am to go to the bathroom and stop to check your email on the way back to bed.

You name your children Eudora, AOL and Dotcom.

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

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

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

You laugh at people with 28.8 baud modems.

You find yourself typing "com" after every period when using a word processor.com You can't call your mother because she doesn't have a modem.com

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

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

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

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

You start tilting your head sideways to smile.

After reading this message, you immediately email it to a friend.
