when you catch yourself thinking you wish you could say a smiley

when you can remember your 10 favourite URLs but not your own zip code

when your homepage layout has won prizes but you can't read your own handwriting

when DOS was your favourite toy as a child

when your family e-mails you because that's the only way to get in touch with you

when your first thought isn't small and furry when you hear the word "mouse"

when you hear the little "ding" of the system chimes during your dreams

when you tell someone your name and end it with "dot com"

when you wake up at night for some reason and think : "Great! I've got more time to get connected!"
