    Computaholics Exam
    by MATRAT, CFJ, and RABBIT

 Are you a Compute-a-holic?  Many of us are without even realizing
it.  Below are a *few* questions to help you take a somewhat humorous
look at your computing habits, and decide if you need help.  A new
chapter of Computaholics anonymous may be forming near you.

Do you use disk labels for tape?

Do you buy disks in lots of 100?

Has this ever happened to you: Your spouse gets *frisky* and you say,
  "Not tonight honey, I've got a bug." And then you have to explain that
  you meant *in your program*, when your better half breaks out the
  Pepto-Bismol?

Do you use more than a CASE of paper per year?  Do you own and
  frequently use a calculator capable of Hexadecimal and binary
  arithmetic?

Do you have computer style personalized license plates such as:
  CPU-HED ?  PLA-PHA ?  PAG-ZRO ?  MEG-4ME ?  GIG-BYT ?  4160ST ?
  BLITER ?  I1T-RAM ?

Can you look at memory hex dumps and disassemble them in your head?

Have you ever written an assembly language program that is more than 10K
  of pure object code?

Every time you pass a computer, typewriter, or anything with keys, do
  you get this irresistible urge to type something?

Is your profession non-clerical in nature, yet you can type 70 words per
  minute or more?

Would you RATHER write a video game than play one?

When a friend calls you to ask you about a problem with his monitor, do
  you immediately start thinking in assembly code, when he meant his
  Monochrome display?

Do you HOPE the teacher assigns a term paper instead of a mid term exam,
  so you can do it on your computer?
  Have you ever waked up at 3AM face down on your computer's keyboard?

Do you take computer magazines to the toilet with you?

Do you have a bumper sticker which reads:
  "I'd rater be COMPUTING than COMMUTING"?

If you are a professional programmer do you ever wonder, "Why do they
  PAY me to have this much fun?"

When lunch or break time rolls around, do you start working on a
  computer program for home?

Do you have a "computer ROOM" in your house?

Do you take computer books to the doctor's office, dentist, or barber
  with you?

Do your kids teethe on game cartridges and disk cases?

Do you save Velveeta Cheese boxes to use as 3 1/2" disk tubs?

Do your kids use your bad disks for frisbees?

Do you subscribe to more than one COMPUTER MAGAZINE?

Do you ever take a VACATION DAY so you can spend 16 hours in front of
  your computer at home?

Do you own more than $3000 worth of "home computer" equipment?
