-- You haven't played solitaire with a real deck of cards in years.

-- You have a list of 15 phone numbers to reach your family of 3.

--You call your son's beeper to let him know that it is time to eat. He emails you back from his bedroom, "What's for dinner?"

-- Your daughter sells Girl Scout Cookies via her web site.

-- You chat several times a day with someone from South Africa, but you haven't spoken with your next door neighbor yet this year.

-- Your daughter just bought a single CD of all the records your college roommate used to play.

-- Your grandmother clogs up your email inbox asking you to send her a JPEG file of your newborn so she can create a screen saver.

-- You buy a computer and a week later it is out of date and now sells for half the price you paid.

-- The concept of using real money, instead of credit or debit, to make a purchase is foreign to you.

-- You consider second-day air delivery painfully slow.

-- Your reason for not staying in touch with family is that they do not have email addresses.

-- You hear most of your jokes via email instead of in person.

-- You've printed this out and are reading it in the "library."
