YOU KNOW YOU'VE BEEN ON THE
COMPUTER TOO LONG WHEN...
...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...".
...you dream in 256 pallettes of 256 colors.
...your wife says "If you don't turn off that &%
machine and come to bed, then I am going to divorce
you!", and you chastise her for for omitting the "or
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 fooling around all day with routers etc, you
pick up the phone and start dialing an IP 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 a icon to double-click to open your
bedroom window.
...you go to balance your checkbook and discover that
you're doing the math in octal.
...you look for a trash can icon for throwing
garbage.
