! You know you`ve been hacking too long when... !

... You read a moronic letter in a magazine, then spend a good 30 
seconds wondering which key to hit so you can follow up with a flame 
that just popped into your head.

... You see the root beer at the grocery store as "Hi Res" instead of 
Hires.

... You feel the need to "download a pineapple/canadian bacon pizza".

... You think k.d.lang is a newsgroup

... You are watching a boring show on tv & wonder why the screen saver 
hadn`t kicked in.

... You misspelled something with a pen and your first thought was to 
hit delete.

... You get in the elevator on your way home, pound on the button for 
your office floor, and wonder why the elevator won`t toggle your 
location.

... Someone leaves a Post-It note on your screen, and after reading the 
note you click on the window beneath it to bring it to the foreground.

... You think "I wonder if my letter (snail mail) has reached its 
destination yet?" "Yes, it must have otherwise it would have bounced..."

...You comment your assembler code in C.

... You panic when someone says "The Sun`s just gone down"

... You write down some code during an exam, stare at the page, and 
think "I wonder why the compiler`s taking so long...".

... You sit down with friends at the cafeteria and say "re."  (for 
IRC-literates only)

... You walk into a used bookstore, ask if they have any books about 
UNIX and wonder why they`re giving you funny looks.
