10. 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.

9. You get a tatoo that says "This body best viewed with Netscape 1.1 or higher."

8. You name your children Eudora, Mozilla and Dotcom.

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

6. You spend half of the plane trip with your laptop on your lap...and your child in the overhead compartment.

5. You decide to stay in college for an additional year or two, just so you can have the free Internet access.

4. You laugh at people with 2400 baud modems.

3. You start using smileys in your snail mail.

2. The last girl you picked up was only a jpeg.

1. Your hard drive crashes. You haven't logged on in two hours. You start to twitch. You pick up the phone and manually dial your ISPS access number. You try to hum to communicate with it. You succeed.
