Very good question this: Started me thinking hmmm 
I run an online business
My wife runs a full time eBay business
Our ferrets have there own blog
When I am not using the computer it means I am usually
gaming on the console.......... I think thats too many pixels what counts as a lethal dosage?

Well-known
And she said 'We are all just prisoners here, of our own device'
And in the master's chambers, they gathered for the feast
They stab it with their steely knives, but they just can't kill the beast
Last thing I remember, I was running for the door
I had to find the passage back to the place I was before
'Relax' said the night man, 'We are programed to receive'
'You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave'
I remember the dark ages, the time before Google. Before AltaVista, yes even before Netscape, before even mosaic... back when there was email, Usenet, uucp, telnet and ftp...
we are all doomed my friends, doomed. Yet while we have our rangefinders and laptops, we are not alone....

To follow up on Colin....
Last thing I remember -
I was running for the door,
I tried to get my passage back
To the place I was before,
"Relax," - said the nightman,-
"We are all programmed to receive,
You can check out any time you like,
But you can never leave!...
... I think that pretty much sums it up...
Members of the Eagles have described the album as a metaphor for the perceived decline of America into materialism and decadence. In an interview with Dutch magazine ZigZag shortly before the album's release, Don Henley said:
“This is a concept album, there's no way to hide it, but it's not set in the old West, the cowboy thing, you know. It's more urban this time (. . . ) It's our bicentennial year, you know, the country is 200 years old, so we figured since we are the Eagles and the Eagle is our national symbol, that we were obliged to make some kind of a little bicentennial statement using California as a microcosm of the whole United States, or the whole world, if you will, and to try to wake people up and say 'We've been okay so far, for 200 years, but we're gonna have to change if we're gonna continue to be around."

Never realized Hotel California is a metaphor of the www as well ;-)
