You Know You're Too Serious About Computers When . . .

You comment, while watching a sunset, that the image would be enhanced with 10% more magenta and a higher resolution.

Someone tells you about a great new program and you're very disappointed to find that it's on TV.

While driving down the street, you are confused by the numbers on the houses --- they do not appear to be legitimate WWW addresses.

You find it easier to check the National Weather Service website than to simply look out the window.

When you start using phrases like: Hungry.must-eat.food.now@home.com.

You call in sick because you found a great new website.

You can type your top 10 favorite websites' URLs , by heart.

Your fingers quit moving because you've been online for 36 hours.

Your ISP suggests you try a competitor, because you're exceeding 300 hours a month connect time.

On the way home from work, you use your portable and cellular phone in your car, to reprogram a Tomahawk missile, in flight, and redirect it to take out the joker in the Cadillac who cut you off.

Your desk collapses under the weight of your computer peripherals.

You try to press Alt-F4 to close your car window.

The extra text menu links (previously here) are being removed in the site redesign.

NOTICE - SITE UNDERGOING EXTENSIVE REWRITE -
The new pages are slightly wider and the new main menu is wider as well. The bottom of the page menu (see the box immediately above) is being eliminated. Failing links are being identified/removed and the HTML is being corrected/revised to better use CSS Structures and to use fewer old HTML structures. During the transition, some old pages show formatting errors in the HTML, and the page may be "not quite right".

I appreciate your patience while this effort proceeds. Completion was originally estimated for Dec.2011. However the lengthy illness and "recent" death of my mother (20.Jul.2011) coupled with the effects of my strokes and my personal focus on finding employment, has caused me to reestimate completion for Dec.2012, gods willing and the creeks don't rise.

Please email me me about any errors you detect or questions/suggestions you may have.
