---- jfl ----- How do you know if you've been on the computer too long? ------------------------------------------------------- You know you've been on the computer too long when... You are counting objects, and you go "0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,A,B,C,D,..." You dream in 256 palettes of 256 colours. Asked about a bus schedule, you wonder if it is 16 or 32 bits. Your wife says "If you don't turn off that damn machine and come to bed, then I am going to divorce you!", and you chastise her for omitting the else clause. You try to sleep, and think sleep(8 * 3600); /* sleep for 8 hours */ You are reading a book and look for the scroll bar to get to the next page. After a day at the office, you pick up the phone and start dialling an Internal Phone number. You get in the elevator and double-click the button for the floor you want. Not only do you check your email more often than your paper mail, but you remember your {network address} faster than your postal one. You look for an icon to double-click to open your bedroom window. You go to balance your chequebook and discover that you're doing the math in octal. You look for a trash can icon when throwing out the garbage.
