Oh, dear. I might be a Stage 5. Although that one time I went to the roof, and then back to the apartment and used the dial-up, I REALLY needed to get online. Cough.

Chris, well, you’ve used it more, so I’ll take your word for it :) I’m still in love with my Mighty Mouse, and my Macbook’s trackpad.

AG, maybe cause you’d be on vacation? :P I don’t even go online when Im’ on vacation (or at least try), and I’m the world’s biggest cyber junkie.

I would have to say stage 3-4 when I’m in the States and 1 when I’m in Jordan.
It’s weird but I always have something better to do when I’m in Jordan.

Blasphemy! No seriously, can’t really tell the difference, but I could be wrong. If so, the speedy momentum and the finger swipe make up for it. (For me, I’m way faster with the swipe than with your treasured right click back/forward.)

No wallah Roba believe me, el zayed a5o el na2es!

Being Geek (not nerd there is a difference) solving people’s computer’s problems (an non computer problems that might extend to their FTA Receivers!) is fun within limits, but getting a call on 8 PM that:

-”my D:\ drive has a suspicious icon and i am so worried, is it a virus ?”,
i just sigh, dude does your C:\ drive has that suspicious icon too ?
-and he goes like hmm no !,
i sigh again.. ok then, dude does your D:\ Drive has the picture of USB Flash with Green Hair on it (Wireless Emitting just to make the picture clear to him) ?
-He goes like Yes ! Exactly ! What the Heck is That ?!
(Kan nefsi a2ollo had Abu Rejel Masloo5a jay yakol jihazak)

Man,you just pressed that Setup a wireless network for home or small office in my network places by mistake, or you didn’t know what is that for and tried to give it a shot, go to your D:\ Drive and delete Autorun.inf and that folder that begins with letter s with length of 5 or 8 characters that does not belong to you.
and yea, reboot your computer, windows always needs rebooting..

Sorry for this long crappy comment, thank you all for hearing my sufferings.

Zeid, I’m the opposite :( I really don’t like wood. I’m a metal, concrete, and glass kinda gal :)
Yanko is an awesome site though, even if we don’t agree aesthetically. My ideal mouse (the way it looks at least, I wouldn’t use it cause I treasure my right click too much) is the original glass one-button apple mouse. That is gorgeousness.

and btw wihtout reading the article and judging what it is about from the title … if it’s not work that is making me click the mouse and hit the keyboard buttons (or checking out andfaraway.net or my e mail) i dont like to spend time on the internet or even use the laptop but i have to … during weekends or vacations i just sit and relax no tv no computer … i just sleep i guess and then go out and drink coffee @ Costa (TM) (R)
