Dang! This sounds rreally familiar :)
I've been hooked to computers since I got my first own computer when I was 16 (24 now). When I started college I bought a spanking new AMD 1100 and that was it, my surfin' habit kicked in, HARD. For you people wondering whether you're addicted too, there's this list you can check off.

Anyways, I've tried spending less time staring at the box by making commitments like yours Ty. I've even unplugged my computer for a month and I could only use the computers at the library. That did work but I just made an excuse to plug it back in and there I was again.
The best question to ask in this situation is "Is this the best use of my time right now?". And also not to give using your computer any priority.
Good luck Ty and everybody else trying to kick it.
If you browse past 10 newssites looking for updates on them I can really recommend using RSS (Ty also offers it). In combination with an RSS reader or a customized homepage like www.google.com/ig you can see all the latest updates of your favorite websites in one screen. Clicking on one of the items brings you right to them. You can also have updates mailed to you by using a site like www.squeet.com. RSS really rocks.

This is actually a very good idea!
