 Got this from a friend.....

Forwarded message:

  YOU KNOW YOU'VE BEEN ON THE COMPUTER TOO LONG WHEN ...
 
 When you are counting objects, you go "0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,A,B,C,D...".
 
 When asked about a bus schedule, you wonder if it is 16 or 32 
 bits.
 
 When your  husband says "If you don't turn off that damn machine and 
 come to bed, then I am going to divorce you!", and you chastise 
 him for for omitting the else clause.
 
 ...You're writing a homework assignment, and get the end of the line
 in the middle of a sentence, tack on a '\', and continue writing on
 the next line.
  
 You try to sleep, and think ... "telnet sleep.cs.mun.ca".
  
 When you are reading a book and look for the space bar to get to the
next page.  When you look for your car keys using: "grep keys
/dev/pockets"
 
 When you look for your homework using: "grep homework /dev/backpack"
  
 When after fooling around all day with routers etc, you pick up the phone
 and start dialling an IP number...
 
 When you get in the elevator and double-press the button for the
floor you want.
