.....when you have a desktop, laptop, and a pocket pc so you are no where without a computer no matter where you are!! :D
.....when you compare everything in your life to the specs and speed of your computer.
(i dont know if this counts or not) .......when your daily conversations to people include the words, el o el, oe em gee, lawl, roffle. 100% guilty
......doing plans of making your car a mobile WAP, complete with webcam and gps.
.....when the word balls(bawls) is no longer a potty mouth word!

... when your idea of fun consists of treasure hunting at your local PC "junkyard" store and find great joy in discovering something usable. (True story. )
50mm Panaflo for $0.50! Whoo!
Found it in a giant bin of crappy heatsinks and fans.
A little isopropyl alcohol cleaned it up real nice.
Damn this thing is quiet even on full blast.
Well... not like I have a choice really, it has no ground wire.

...When you set up a windmill in your hallway to take advantage of the thermal gradient generated by the computers in your room. This also has the sideffect of providing extra power to run the USB fan on your desk that keeps you from dieing of heat.

No doubt!! No watch like that, but i do have a ppc. and my nextel has intarweb, but i dont know if that counts. LOLWhen your daily essentials consist of: a watch with a pda built in, an internet enabled cell phone, an ipod(with video no doubt), a laptop, multiple thumb drives, and all the cables to hook them together and charge them.
