Top 10 Ways to Know You're a MacAddict!

Submitted June 11, 1998

1. You spend months planning your next Mac purchase - and two hours buying a car.

2. You plan to add "must be allowed to use a Mac" on your next job application.

3. When your company went Windows NT, you made them match all your Mac software (as much as was possible!) - and then went out and bought a Mac notebook anyway. (And updated your resume.)

4. You have priced a 20" color monitor for your notebook, and added a mouse and expanded keyboard. It no longer fits in a briefcase.

5. You still use your trusty old MacIIci with Turbo 601 PowerMac accelerator, with its new 1Gig drive, flatbed scanner, 1Gig external drive, CD drive, 200MB Syquest drive, 32Meg RAM, 14.4 modem, 20" greyscale and 12" color monitors and 600dpi laserjet printer --- to write memos. You'll add more RAM as soon as your sons tell you how.

6. You own PhotoShop 3.0, 4.0 and will soon add 5.0 and have at least three added plugins and use them to do websites for fun. (Fabio's!) Adobe and MacroMedia send e-mail to your home.

7. You're an engineer who would rather attend a Web Conference than attend DAC.

8. Your computer's traveling case is more expensive than your luggage.

9. You subscribe to more computer magazines than any other category of reading material. (MacWorld. MacAddict.)

10. You can't wait for your stock to go up so you can have a fully-equipped 248 Mbyte G3 Minitower --- to write memos.
