Pavlov-like reflexes

It seems that I'm slowly becoming a robot. Apparently, between the time I push the key-combination that starts Firefox and the time it actually appears on the screen, I forget what I started it for. (Although it takes only about 3-5 seconds). Then, driven by an invisible force I automatically (and unconsciously) type <Control+L> sd <Enter>[1] which takes me to slashdot. By the time I realize what I'm doing, the page is already loaded and I can almost hear the productivity crashing through the floor.

... maybe I need a faster[2] computer. :D


[1] <Control+L> -- activates the "address bar"
sd <Enter> -- my keyword / shortcut for slashdot

[2] I currently have a dual P III @ 600MHz which seems ok for 99% of the applications in Linux.
