READY-MADE RESOLUTIONS FOR INTERNETers - 2001


 * Stop neglecting children; at least learn their names & birthdays

 * Read all of the mail from all of the groups I've subscribed to

 * Limit my subscriptions of e-mail jokes to a maximum of fifty

 * See if there's anything on those 5 1/4" disks really worth saving

 * Back-up 5 gig hard drive weekly; well, maybe at least monthly

 * Not rush to any ftp site as soon as I hear of a new Beta

 * Insist that all "ten best" lists be strictly limited to ten

 * Not buy magazines with AOL disks just to get another 1.44Mb disk

 * Answer Snail Mail with the same enthusiasm & promptness as e-mail

 * Spend less than two hours a day on the Web; on new sites anyway

 * Promise when I hear "Where do you want to go today?" I won't
   laugh

 * Think of a password other than "password" to use on web sites

 * Try to keep "Hot" Bookmarks under 1,000 entries

 * Remember people who use low baud and mhz rates have feelings too

 * Stop using  =-)  in all interoffice memos

 * Start deleting stuff I haven't used in over 5 years

 * Engage in small talk & not mention computers for at least 10
   minutes

 * Try to think up some new resolutions before next year
