Too extensive use of certain things can lead to addiction. If you are using the 'Net extensively you should read the signs below and if 50% of them applies to you, then you should see a doctor immediately (a virtual doctor ?) ;-) This was found on the web, author unknown.

  1. You wake up at 3 a.m. in the morning, go to the bathroom and stop to check your *e-mail on your way back to bed.
  2. You get a tattoo that reads "This body is best viewed using *Netscape1.1 or higher"
  3. You name your children "*Eudora", "Mozilla" and "DotCom"
  4. You switch off your modem and get this awful empty feeling, like you just pulled the plug on a loved one.
  5. You spend half the flight with your laptop on your lap and your child in the overhead compartment.
  6. You decide to stay in college for an additional year or two just for free Internet access.
  7. You laugh at people with 2400 *baud modems.
  8. You start to use *smiley in your snail mail
  9. Your hard drive crashes. You haven't logged in for two hours. You start to twitch. You pick up the phone an manually dial your *ISPs access number. You try to hum to communicate with the modem. And you succeeded

All right - some humor has to be :-)
