When you are counting objects, you go "0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,A,B,C,D...".
When asked about a bus schedule, you wonder if it is 16 or 32 bits.
When your wife says "If you don't turn off that darn machine and come to bed,then I am going to divorce you!", and you chastise her for for omitting the else clause.
When you are reading a book and look for the space bar to get to the next page.
When you look for your car keys using: "grep keys /dev/pockets"
When after fooling around all day with routers etc, you pick up the phone and start dialing an IP number.
When you get in the elevator and double-press the button for the floor you want.
When not only do you check your email more often than your paper mail, but you remember your {network address} faster than your postal one.
When you go to balance your checkbook and discover that you're doing the math in octal.
When you dream in 256 palettes of 256 colors.

It was in the wee hours of the morning, and I was reading thru man pages... the cat decided it wanted attention, and jumped up on the desk right in front of the monitor. I use alt-tab *all* the time (it drives me absolutely insane to watch the daughter draaaaag one window over partways, and then click on another one, then draaaag it to the center...) anyways, so my first reaction was simply reflex: alt-tab. Alt-tab. Alt-tab-alt-tab-ALT-TAB. Stop, blink, refocus eye-balls. Processing... then when it struck me what I had just attempted to do, I 'bout fell of the chair laughing. Powered off the machine and went to be with a smile.
