"and he has trouble communicating with friends and family."

I think the Zero crowd wins the guessing game here.  Floyd never had problems communicating with 'em, he had problems with knowing when to stop telling us about himself.   ;D


"His drug is the Internet"

Clearly, Floyd's drug is Oregano....danny, I'm surprised you missed the boat on this one with all the blatantly obvious clues dropped in the story!  ;)

Game rooms, online gaming (Everquest, anyone  :o ), chat rooms, forums, downloading movies/music....cripes, there's TONS on the Internet to keep someone on all day long. 

It's getting so you can do whatever you want to not have to leave the house!  Great for shut-ins, but to CREATE shut-ins?  Not so good.

Wow, that one hit a little to close to home.

And here I thought it was all because I was just a lanky doofus.

What did it say? 38 hours or more per week is a sign of addicition?

That's like 5-1/2 hours per day. Weekend nights are high use for me and would push me over the quoted time easily.

If I become like subzero I will eat my modem.

I too spent alot of my free time online. Usually though it on pursuit of info on my myriad of other time and money wasting hobbies tho!  ;D

I think the "addicition" part is more "obsession" in this fellas case.  :-\
