You know you've been working too long with computers when...

...you're taking notes with a pen on a pad of paper, have finished a paragraph, and try to press Ctrl+S to save what you've written so far.

I sometimes used to dream in text, after spending too much time online.

Heh. The other day I tried to middle-click (Firefox: open in new bground tab) a link in Yahoo Messenger.

At least you have good habits. :) Save early and often.

I suppose so :) Yes, I do have a habit of doing :up (in vim) or Ctrl+S fairly frequently, after I've added a more-or-less self-contained "chunk" of text.

I quite often do something bad, like break a plate, then for the rest of the day I feel like I should have just been able to ctrl-z it and undo what I did wrong. Was drawing a picture on paper the other week, and spilt my coffee on it.. Have been cursing the non-ctrl-z-ability ever since :S..
