YOU KNOW YOU'VE BEEN ON THE COMPUTER TOO LONG...

When asked about a bus schedule, you wonder if it is 16
or 32 bits.

When you are counting objects, you go
"0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,A,B,C,D...".

When you dream in 256 palettes of 256 colors.

When 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 */

When you are reading a book and look for the scroll bar
to get to the next page.

When after fooling around all day with routers etc, you
pick up the phone and start dialing an IP number...

When you get in the elevator and double-click the
button for the floor you want.

When not only do you check your email more often than
your paper mail, but you remember your {network
address} faster than your postal one.

When you look for a icon to double-click to open your
bedroom window.

When you go to balance your checkbook and discover that
you're doing the math in octal.

When you look for a trash can icon for throwing away
garbage.
