Audiogoners Anonymous?

The first step is knowing that you have a problem.

And mine is that I am so interested in this site, that I could forget about everything else I need to do personally and professionally when that Audiogon home page tempts and teases me nearly every waking hour from my Favourites folder.

Knowing this habit and my skillful ability to jump in and out and around this site, checking up to the minute posts and prices, my girlfriend often peers over my shoulder while I am "just checking my emails" or "just finishing a bit of work" before going to sleep -- only to bust me and ask if I am back on Audiogon again.

Has anyone else had this problem? Or does anyone have some technical solutions?

I am beginning to wonder if my day might be more productive if my desk had two or three computers and only one with web access? Do any of you work on a separate computer?

Prehaps then I might focusing more on the riveting details of my contact database, spreadsheets, and word documents instead of hearing the latest opionions on AC outlets.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hahaha.... I can see that we all have syringes labeled "Audiogon" hanging out of our veins : )

I think that you folks know that i have it bad. Just look at how many posts i make and how long they are : )

After talking to Audiogon Arnie, he "conned" me into signing up for "wideband". He told me that i would be kicking myself once i found out how much "better" it was than operating off of a dial-up. My installation is supposed to take place this Friday, so we'll see how it goes. Honestly though, i don't think it will save me much time when surfing. It is not so much "surfing" that takes up so much time, it is doing all of the typing that kills me : ) Sean

PS... If you are thinking about going "broadband", try stopping by Best Buy, Circuit City, etc... Their deal using AT&T is actually cheaper than going directly to the source.
