I am not actually addicted to the internet.
I was a little concerned when I opened up my old Dell laptop to check something and realized that I WAS CRYING because OH, IT JUST FELT SO RIGHT to hold my baby again. I MISSED using that laptop so much, and I hadn’t even realized it. I think I knew then that the NEW laptop I had ordered to replace my old one just wasn’t cutting it. We just weren’t meant to be. I’m shipping the new Dell back and I headed off to Circuit City and bought a Toshiba. My Toshiba and I aren’t soul mates like me and my first Dell were, but we are a better match than the other STUPID Dell.
Needless to say, when I realized how much a friggin’ computer meant to me, I became concerned that I had a little problem with the internet. Like, maybe it was time to join Internets Anonymous or something. I wondered briefly if IA had an online group that I could join and then decided that first I should test my level of addiction.
I took a HIGHLY SCIENTIFIC quiz and my score was 39, which means this: “You are an average on-line user. You may surf the Web a bit too long at times, but you have control over your usage.”
All is well with the world. Carry on with your day.

Yikes, I scored a 43!
Oh, and we LOVE LOVE LOVE our Toshiba. Unfortunately, when Meg goes away to college next year (pardon my excitement), she’s getting stuck with a Dell…it comes with the dorm room that we are paying a gazillion dollars for, per year. I have always hated Dell computers…hopefully Meg will find some redeeming quality.
Ok, now I’ve really got to get that load of laundry switched around or the hubby won’t have clean undies for his business trip.

We have Macs at our house so you can just imagine how much more unnatural computer love floats about our office like a bad fart. Because, dude; Mac users are WEIRD.

I, too, have replaced my Dell with a Toshiba and have never been more happy about a decision IN MY LIFE.
My Dell sucked. Let me repeat that … SUCKED. I will never own another.

Angel, Ooh, you better join a support group! And I actually have two other computers not pictured, but they are desktops. I am a LOSER.

Dory,

Yes I DO have a problem. Admitting that is the first step, right?

Holy Computers, Woman! I have an HP laptop. The warranty on it just expired and I’m just waiting for the day I open it up and am greeted by the blue screen of death. It might be time to start backing my shit up, huh?
