...you recognize the way Best Buy programmed their online application form. (radio buttons FTW)
...you think the way Best Buy set up said application form is pretty cool.
...immediately after this recognition, you race to ChiefDelphi (halfway through the application) to post about it.

...when you nearly die after seeing the specs on the laptop you're working to buy this summer. (160gb hard drive and 4gb RAM for $700... easily 20 times better than my current desktop )

Re: You know you've overdosed on FIRST when...

When you have two internet browsers/ tabs opened on CD.
When you waste your time on changing the color,size, and font of every word in one post.
Very Guilty indeed.

EDIT: Surprised they let that much code in one post.

When playing World of Warcraft:

... When all of your Aussie mates know about FIRST, and you keep trying to convice them to start a team
... When all the GM's on your server know about FIRST
