New Years Resolutions for the PC junkie

[ScurvyPirateGuy]

16. I resolve... I resolve to... I resolve to, uh... I resolve to, uh, get my, er... I resolve to, uh, get my, er, off-line work done, too!

15. I will stop checking my e-mail at 3:00 in the morning... 4:30 is much more practical.

14. When I hear a funny joke I will not reply, "LOL... LOL!"

13. I will stop sending e-mail, ICQ, Instant Messages and be on the phone at the same time with the same person.

12. I will try to figure out why I *really* need 9 e-mail addresses.

11. I will stop sending e-mail to my roommate.

10. I will not buy magazines with AOL CD's bound in just to get another drink coaster.

9. I resolve to work with neglected children... my own.

8. I will answer my snail mail with the same enthusiasm I answer e-mail.

7. When I subscribe to a newsgroup or mailing list, I will read all the mail I get from it.

6. I will stop using, "So, what's your IP address?" as a pickup line.

5. No more downloads from alt.binaries.*

4. I resolve to back up my new 400 GB hard drive daily... well, once a week... monthly, perhaps...

3. I will spend less than five hour a day on the Internet.

2. I will limit my top ten lists to ten items.

1. I will read the manual ... just as soon as I can find it.

See, I'm realistic.
It's not even New Year's and already I've given up on most of them!
lol!...lol!!!

now see if I would have read this on the 24th, then maybe I would have backed up my 80gb hdd before it died, on boxing day!!. crap I've spending all day and night re-installing and trying to figure out the logins and passwords. what a nightmare, and I know better. so for all you newby's here, back up your drive before you lose it. hard drives last on average 3.5 yrs.
