How do you know if you're already addicted or rapidly tumbling toward trouble? Everyone's situation is different, and it's not simply a matter of time spent on-line. Some people indicate they are addicted with only twenty hours of Internet use, while others who spent forty hours on-line insist it is not a problem to them. It's more important to measure the damage your Internet use causes in your life. What conflicts have emerged in family, relationships, work, or school?

Score 18  You are an average on-line user. You may surf the Web a bit too long at times, but you have control over your usage.  Im too busy monitoring 3885. Is there a test to see if you are addicted to radio?

I fail that one every time. I score a 23 on the internet but I get damn testy if T-storms are around and I can't get my RF fix!

If T-storms are around, I unplug my computer from the a.c. power and disconnect the cable from the modem.  My old machine get zapped by lightning twice, which is what did it in.

Uh, I'm too busy in a chatroom to take the test.  Then again, I'm arguing with a political operative who is part of a clique of lame ducks that I (and a number of others) just helped out of office.  So I guess it's all for the best.

I'm a 29 according to the score card.
With my retirement status, I have to stay away from E-Bay!!!!!!! There are so many Ham goodies there!!
I know it really takes away from the fellowship and the eyeball QSO's at the Festers.
I'm going to try to be at the Butler Fester with at least $100.00 (?)

Well, that's good to know.  But then, note the time of this post. Grin
