A Conversation for Internet Addiction
Absolutely no Internet after 11 p.m.

I worked this out with my doctor:
if I ever want to have a shot at a good
night's sleep, I must log off the Internet
on or before 11:00 p.m.
Obviously, for this to have become enough
of a problem to be discussed with my doctor,
I must have had quite an addiction. Actually,
I have been addicted since 1996, when Internet
availability came to my office. So, there
you have it. I've haunted several web sites
since then. But H2G2 is clearly unique (or
uniquely clear?). Where else could you spend
time at a site around the clock, and *still*
miss some spots you'd enjoy if you only knew
about them? 
(Next time, we'll talk about my addiction to
computer solitaire, specifically Free Cell.
Over a 2.5-year period, I played 25,000 games
of Free Cell. Won about 75% of them, chortle,
chortle)
