- when DOS was your favourite toy as a child.
- when your family e-mails you because that’s the only way to get in touch with you.
- when your first thought isn’t small and furry when you hear the word mouse.
- when someone mentions java and coffee is the second thing that goes through your mind.
- when your friends at school ask you “what did you do on your weekend?” and you have to reply played on the computer, or try and make up a lie that you had a wonderful time out with your friends.
- when the only sexual experiences you’ve made ended with a .com or a .org.
- when your fingers are stronger than your arms and your only tan originates from watching a monitor glow.
- when all of your closest friends live out of state…or country, and you still talk to them every day.
- when you have a pyramid of coke cans in you computer room.
- when you look at new computers like they were fast cars. (Oh man look at that: A pentum II 300MHZ with 128MB of ram… man that baby humms…)
- when people ask you your favourite colour and you answer “#fce503″.
- when someone you don’t know calls an IDIOT a nerd and you stop to explain to them what a nerd REALLY is.
- when the coke can pyramid gets so big that you decide to make it 3-dimensional.
- when you turn off your modem and get this awful empty feeling, like you just pulled the plug on a loved one.
- when tech support calls you for help.
- when you have the local software store on speed dial, but have to look up the number of your parents.
- when you’ve got bigger problems making your dinner than your homepage.
- when in the morning you go to your computer before you go to the bathroom.
- when you have so much computer junk in your basement that your friends come to you before they go to the computer store.
- when you send someone 12,567 e-mails because he beat you out by one dollar at that internet auction for the SCSI CD burner.
