Has a computer ever made you so angry you are almost berserk?

My computer crashed the other day, so I'm using an old one of my dad's, but it's so slow and inefficient, it's turning me quite literally rabid. How about you, has your computer ever sent you into paroxysms of pure demented rage?

Hello Carl! Gosh do I remember at some time or another when the computer begins to act zooy. Yes my first thoughts are to junk it. lol I gets so irritated that I almost want to slam it against the wall. Of course I don't because will need it and will not be able to replace it. Just last February, I although have great virus and malaware protection, my laptop got a really bad malaware. I tried everything possible as I am really great with computers to get it to work. I was so frustrated I wanted to stomp on the laptop. Finally after a day of frustration, I decided to reformat my entire PC, while I was at it, when ahead and purchases a larger HD. So it took a licking but I kept ticking at it. lol Only cost me $30 so I was able to do so, but gosh I was livid. Something about technology, that it is wonderful while working great, then all of sudden out of nowhere something causes it to not work and or act up.

Bliss! - My PC is working well (old photo of CRH, London).
I have zero patience with ill-behaved technology; I see red within a split second, I mean enraged. I always have been like this. Luckily now, I've got a wonderfully well-behaved PC...bliss!

Oh yes. Lots of times. I hate it when all of a sudden you start having computer problems and you do not really know what caused it or how to fix it yourself, then you spend lots of hours trying to get it working again and lose alot of time online doing what you usually do.

Hi Steph. I'm lucky because I'm trying to investigate the problem with this stand-in computer. As soon as I feel brave enough to quit the comfort zone of this PC, I'll try and fix my main one!

Yes! Especially with my old computer, which was slow and had a very slow Internet connection. These days I have a newer computer (a laptop) and a much faster Internet account, but my computer needs more memory, and sometimes it stalls out and runs very s-l-o-w. At times I get so frustrated and angry that I feel like picking up the base of the machine and smashing the screen against the corner of a heavy table. (Yes, as you can see, I get so frustrated that I have actually fantasized about how I will take out my anger on the machine!)

Tell me about it, IW. Last night, I was so enraged I was shouting at this PC at the top of my voice, and my eyes were bulging like a crazy man. I wanted to shake it, but then I thought...this is the only PC I have. If I lose this, I'm out in the wilderness. I just couldn't take that right now.
