  • Are you a MURCaholic??? (Fun thread)

    What are the top signs of a true MURCaholic?

    With 20+ hours here a week (going on my second year), I think I might be hooked.

    A good sign might be that you have General Hardware, Matrox Hardware and the Matrox Gaming forums open all the time when online, right. Hitting reload every 30 secs???

    Should we start a support group? AM? Anonymous MURCaholics?

        Hi my name is Paul and I'm a MURCaholic.

        You know your a MURCaholic when your wife's face is stuck in a permanent scowl from constantly giving you "The Look" because your always online reading the Forums.

          Hi my name is Chris, and I'm a MURCaholic!

          You know you're a MURCaholic when you check the posts from work and you ask a customer if they can hold so you can finish posting a reply in Matrox Hardware about the G200 and SoftDVD

                  Now that the semester is back on, I'm kind of upset that I can't check the forums as much as I could when I was working full-time.

                  Is that a bad sign?

                    Yup.
                    The forum is now my home page, and I'm now getting my fix before I go to sleep. SO POST SOMETHING INTERESTING DAMMIT.

                    PS I may be addicted to reviews in general. Anandtech and sharkyextreme are usually open in the background somewhere

                            Hmmm, I guess you could class me as a forum junkie too... I don't think I ever go online without checking at least once if anything's new and interesting.

                            Mark F is spot on! Refresh....nought new.
                            Refresh....still nothing new.
                            Refresh....nope, right, bored, off to general hw
                            refresh....nothing new.
                            refresh....nothing new.
                            refresh....bored, off to gaming.
                            refresh....nothing new.
                            refresh....bored, off to matrox hw and start a fun thread!
