      The Top 18 Signs You're Addicted to the Internet

18> Any campground without a T1 line is OFF your vacation 
    itinerary.                                      

17> Wife calls you to dinner by posting to alt.food.

16> I.V. stand next to your mini tower.

15> Choice between paying Compuserve bill and paying for kids
    education is easy -- if a little painful for your kids.

14> Your big pickup line is, "Haven't we met on alt.top5.addict?"

13> Batteries in the TV remote now last for months.

12> You send in your Top Five List submissions while in the 
    air over Oregon.

11> You hire a housekeeper for your home page.

10> New mail alarm on your palmtop annoys other churchgoers.

 9> Your mouse-clicking forearm rivals Popeye's.

 8> AT&T names you Customer of the Month for the third 
    consecutive time.

 7> Your idea of socializing is sucking up to Chris White 
    for the number one spot.

 6> You unsuccessfully try to download a pizza from 
    www.dominos.com.

 5> Your family conducts an intervention via e-mail and 
    checks you into www.bettyford.com.

 4> You rig your toilet to alert you if you receive any 
    new mail while you're "offline."

 3> You speak in a monotone voice and call your wife "Friday." 
    (Oops! That's a Sign You're Addicted to Dragnet!)

 2> You're surprised to learn there's also a 2 o'clock in the
    *afternoon*.
