You’re having too much of computing when….

Well, dunno if this is a good thing or a sad thing, but all this is from personal experience.
You know involved a bit too much involved with the computer when…. 
  • Your dreams end with a log off screen.
  • You refer to every non-animate object as “machine”.
  • You refer to the head of the family as the admin user.
  • You own a 32 GB pen drive, but don’t have a good pen.
  • When tagging anything with a date, you write: 20091219. Yeah, that stands for 19-12-2009.
  •  You try to find Alt – Ctrl – Delete keys to unlock the keypad… of your mobile.
  • Talking of top-end models (be it cars or watches), you refer to them as “enterprise versions”.
  • You refer to cuisines as "domains". ("My wife is an expert in Maharashtrian and South Indian domain.")
  • While talking to kids, you talk of access rights. (“No, beta…. You don’t yet have the access rights to handle the knife.”)
  • Release of Windows 7 excites you more than that of an Amir Khan movie.
  • You can remember half a dozen alpha-numeric passwords, but have trouble remembering your credit card signature.
  • You have trouble signing your credit card signature.
  • The suggestion to your spouse of preparing a dish at the last moment so that you can server it hot and fresh is communicated as, “Let’s keep all the components ready and compile a fresh build of masala dosa at the runtime!”.
  • When reading a piece of printed matter, you reflexively try to ‘click’ any underlined text, assuming it to be a hyperlink.
  • When you remark, “he has his ideas in the cloud”, you’re actually referring to the cloud computing.
