You are addicted to the internet when …

• You get a tattoo that says "This body best viewed with Netscape 2.01or higher”

• You turn on your intercom when leaving the room so you can hear if new e-mail arrives

• When looking at a page full of someone else's links, you notice all of them are already highlighted in purple

• Your dog has its own home page

• You can't call your mother...she doesn't have a modem

• Your phone bill makes your dad go crazy

• You code your homework in HTML and give your instructor the URL

• You wake up at 3 a.m. to go to the bathroom and stop and check your e-mail on the way back to bed

• You never have to deal with busy signals when calling your ISP...because you never log off

• You turn off your modem and get this awful empty feeling, like you just pulled the plug on a loved one

• Your heart races faster and beats irregularly each time you see a new WWW site address in print or on TV, even though you've never had heart problems before

• Your mother says communication is important in a family...so you ask her for another computer and install a second phone line so the two of you can chat
