Are you trying to tell us something about your fantasies or sex-life?
Have you always enjoyed being abused by computers running annoying
software? Don't worry, I'm sure that this group can help to cure you,
as fantasizing over Mickeysoft products causes you to be a danger to
yourself and others.

Please lay down on the couch and tell us all you that you can remember
about the first time that you fantasized about being tortured by
computers. Do your computers wear spiked leather dust covers? Do
they make you type with your tongue while ordering you to to repeat
"setag llib" over and over again as you try to type? Do you hear them
talking to you and giving you commands even when you're not near them?
Does it interfere with your work, and ablity to live a healthy and
enjoyable life, when you flagellate yourself with the power cord and
pretend that your computer is doing this do you? Tell us about your
early childhood... Did something involving firearms happen to you as a
child that made you fear useful computers and the words "shutdown",
"sync" and "halt"?

Anyway, it appears that there's a difference between Windoze users and
masochists.. Masochists desire and seek pain. Windoze users get
painful computing experiences not because they seek it, but because
they either have no clue that there's a less painlfull way to use a
computer, or because they've been brainwashed by Microsoft's
propaganga. Of course, that's not to say that there aren't some
masochists out there who get their jollies by being tortured by lost
files, system crashes, a system that's a nuisance to use, etc.
