A recent report has suggested that more and more people have, at some point suffered from what they are calling 'Information rage'.
You know? When your damn 56K modem just isn't fast enough to download that picture of Anna Kournikova before your mum enters the room, you just feel like opening a can of 'Whoop' and indeed some 'Ass' on your tiny little screen.
Now, I've quite often had a fit of impatient ranting. But has anyone else actualy inflicted any serious hurt to anything or anyone due to their computer playing silly Boogers?

I regularly suffer from IT rage... in a big way. Here are a few of my latest incidents:
-Slammed my fist onto my keyboard, really rather hard... thus annihilating the space bar. Had to go and buy a new keyboard. Grr.
-Punched my monitor, really rather hard... thus breaking two of my fingers and badly bruising my knuckles. Grr.
-Found a virus, tried to deal with it manually... thus ruining my system files. Jumped out of my chair, screamed, and kicked my beanbag, really rather hard... thus bursting it and filling the air with small polysterene pellets. Grr.
-Finally lost the plot, tried entertaining myself by putting a chocolate hobnob in my CD Rom drive. It didn't do anything so I took it out. The CD drive still didn't work. Apparentley a few crumbs and the merest smear of chocolate are enough to break it. Oops. Luckily it was still under guarantee, took it back to the shop, didn't mention the biscuit incident.

yeah mate definitely.
I've thrown my spectrum at the wall after a 'tape loading error'
I picked up my monitor and dropped it on my amiga after it crashed at a vital gaming moment
I've des**troyed countless snes joypads
I threw a ps1 at the wall
My PS2 I have now, and my PC have not yet received a pas**ting, although I have punched my monitor (which hurts like hell)
Maybe I've chilled out a bit :o)
Disclaimer : Kids, beating the sh*t out of your computer is NOT HARD
