Confessions of a Download Junkie
|
||
---------------------------------
|
||
|
||
Okay, lets face it, I'm a download junkie!!!
|
||
|
||
When do you know you are addicted to downloading!!!
|
||
|
||
------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
||
1. You wake up, make coffee (maybe), then hit the BBS's
|
||
|
||
2. You never read the bulletins on any BBS you log onto.
|
||
Okay.. if the Sysop threatens you, then you scan them real quick.
|
||
|
||
3. You never read a single message on any BBS, maybe one or two, but
|
||
you really never read them, you scan them.
|
||
And you hate to enter one, okay, maybe if it's a quick one that asks
|
||
for a phone number to another BBS you call and download from (this
|
||
will keep your level up a little, right?)
|
||
|
||
4. You download everything that is new, even if you don't understand
|
||
what the program will do.
|
||
|
||
5. Your download / upload ratio always seems to be on the edge.
|
||
Funny how some sysops keep giving me messages to upload?
|
||
|
||
6. You've downloaded the same file more then once.
|
||
|
||
7. You've downloaded the same file more then twice.
|
||
|
||
8. You've called the same BBS more then once in a day (I forgot).
|
||
|
||
9. You've called the same BBS more then twice in a day (hey! he might
|
||
have gotten a new program in the last 15 minutes).
|
||
|
||
10. You notice your hard drive is filling up with programs.
|
||
|
||
11. You can't remember what any of them are? or do?
|
||
|
||
12. You never even unzip them to see what the program is!
|
||
|
||
13. You have a closet full of unzipped disks (some dated back a year or
|
||
two). Okay... maybe just a few shoe boxes full.
|
||
|
||
14. You don't care if you ever unzip any of them.
|
||
|
||
15. You get your kicks from just downloading! (you like looking at the
|
||
bar graph of Zmodem, beats TV, right!).
|
||
|
||
16. You say to yourself, I'm a collector!! (so.. you have a lot of out
|
||
dated programs).
|
||
|
||
17. The wife is always saying, "Get off that #$%@ computer".
|
||
|
||
18. The grass is a foot high, but you have to get that NEW program.
|
||
|
||
19. Your neighbors ask your wife, "What is that beeping I hear all night".
|
||
It's you, the download was successful! .. Thank God!! I really needed
|
||
that one.
|
||
|
||
20. When you are on vacation you bring your lap top with you.. hey!
|
||
they might have something here I've never downloaded before.. right?
|
||
|
||
21. You panic when anything happens to your modem.
|
||
|
||
22. You panic when anyone goes near your computer or modem.
|
||
Hey! some people give off a lot of static electricity.. don't they?
|
||
|
||
23. Your hard drive just crashed, your car needs a tune-up... the
|
||
hard drive is in the shop, you'll tune-up the car yourself..
|
||
next week!
|
||
|
||
24. It's four AM in the morning.. well I better go to bed now..
|
||
I have a bunch of files to download tomorrow.. I'm a collector
|
||
you know!!!
|
||
|
||
25. Opps... is that the Sun I see rising? or somebodies headlights?
|
||
|
||
