RULES FOR SURVIVING WEB ADDICTION

* I will have a cup of coffee in the morning and read my 
newspaper like I used to, before the Web.

* I will eat breakfast with a knife and fork and not with one 
hand typing.

* I will get dressed before noon.

* I will make an attempt to clean the house, wash clothes, and 
plan dinner before even thinking of the Web.

* I will sit down and write a letter to those unfortunate few
friends and family that are Web-deprived.

* I will call someone on the phone who I cannot contact via 
the Web.

* I will read a book I think I still remember how.

* I will listen to those around me and stop telling them to 
turn the TV down so I can hear the music on the Web.

* I will not be tempted during TV commercials to check for 
e-mail.

* I will try leave the house at least once a week, whether it 
is necessary or not.

* I will remember that my bank is not forgiving if I forget 
to balance my checkbook because I was too busy on the Web.

* I will remember I must go to bed sometime * the Web will 
always be there tomorrow!
