I feel addicted as hell when we lose power.

I hear they have internet on computers now.

I always thought those were symptoms of being a geek. I didn't realize they changed it to an addiction. ;)

Im not bad.. I can go away and not even think about it. Matter of fact I like taking a few days away from the computer once in awahile.

I used to be addicted to WoW, I'll admit that much. Game stole a year of life from me. As for the internet itself? Meh... not so much.

I avoided opening this thread fearing the worst.

But, it's all good.
