- Confessions Of A Download Junkie
- ================================
-
- OK, lets face it, i'm a download junkie!
-
- When do you know you are addicted to downloading?
-
- 1.) You wake up, make coffee (maybe), then hit the BBS
-
- 2.) You never read the bulletins on any bbs you log onto.
- okay...if the sysop threatens you, then you scan them
- real quick.
-
- 3.) You never read a single message on any bbs, maybe one or
- two, but you really never read them, you scan them. and
- you hate to enter one, okay, maybe if it's a quick one that
- asks for accesss to another bbs you you want to call and download
- from (this will keep your level up a little, right ?).
-
- 4.) You download everything that is new, even if you don't
- understand what the programm will do.
-
- 5.) Your download/upload ratio always seems to be on the edge.
- funny how some sysops keep giving me messages to upload ?
-
- 6.) You've downloaded the same file more then once.
-
- 7.) You've downloaded the same file more then twice.
-
- 8.) You've called the same bbs more then once in a day (I tend to forget).
-
- 9.) You've called the same bbs more then twice in a day
- (Hey! He might have got a new program in the last 15 minutes!)
-
- 10.)You notice your hard drive is filling up with programs.
-
- 11.)You can't remember what any of them are ? or do ?
-
- 12.)You never even unzip them to see what the program is !
-
- 13.)You have a closet full of zipped disks (some dating back
- a year or two). okay... maybe just a few drawers full.
-
- 14.)You don't care if you ever unzip any of them.
-
- 15.)You get your kicks from just downloading ! (you like looking
- at the bar graph of 2 modem, beats tv, right !).
-
- 16.)You say to yourself, i'm a collector !! (so... you have a lot
- of out dated programs).
-
- 17.)The wife is always saying," get off that $%~)^† computer!".
-
- 18.)The grass is a foot high, but you have to get that new program.
-
- 19.)Your neighbours ask your wife,"what is that beeping I hear all night".
- it's you, the download was succesful! ...thank god !! I really needed
- that one.
-
- 20.)When you are on vacation you bring your lap top with you...hey! they
- might have something here I've never downloaded before...right?
