    OK, this syndrome needs a name.

    Symptoms are as follows:

    You go online, and do your usual stuff.

    As soon as log off, you think of two or three things that you want to look up online, but you can't log back on right away.

    After doing what ever it was that kept you from logging back on right away, you go back online. You do not remember what it was that you wanted to look up. More advanced signs of this disorder involve not remembering until you've logged off again.

    Dan has suggested "Netter's Syndrome," which is good, but it's really only funny if you're a big Babylon 5 fan.

    "Google-itis" has also been suggested.

    Any ideas?

    We'll have to start making notes if she starts asking us the same question every 5 minutes.
