Tech Discussion Internet Addict

[Mark]

Suprbay was down yesterday and I was like a lost puppy. It then hit me that with over 100 movies and countless TV shows stored on my PC that I haven't had a chance to even preview, that I shouldn't be so bored, but when I started watching, all I could think about was when SB would be back.

Pathetic, I know, but true.

Is Internet addiction real? Or is it just a cop-out for real life?

I got new Internet through my phone company. It isn't much faster, but it's cheaper and more consistent. My addiction is satisfied for now.

just before i went to delhi they fixed me up at home with a wireless set,finally ,it's about as fast as my former land line,so at least i can start downloading again,when i get back home,i'll post a speed test report

[Mark]

Lucky for you. I miss downloading and uploading.

[srijantje]

you can't download?

[Mark]

No

I have 5GB per month and that's just barely enough to post-whore with . . . I am working on it. Worst thing is I can't upload either and I was right in the middle of uploading some good folk discographies I've collected . . .

[srijantje]

why don't you get unlimited?

let me know when you get those folk things sorted

[snilloc]

I will keep on topic

I love the Internet and yes I dont know what I would do without it so I guess I am an addict

[Mark]

No jokes, I seriously get depressed when I can't get on the Internet. And Rant Central is my baby- when I was getting proxy blocked by the host it was literally driving me mad.
