Frustration with computers is legendary. Remember the "Anger Management" email? We've all been part way there, at some time.

Now, when you whack the crap out of your keyboard it talks back. "Hey, settle down, you'll give yourself bowel cancer!"

When you slap your mouse on the desk, "Yo, was that completely necessary?"

Obviously, these things will have to be a lot tougher than the ones we currently have, as anyone really angry will take exception to being smartarsed by a keyboard and give it a decent thump. Maybe they could be equipped to fight back, with spikes and shocks?

       Whinging = whining, in my country.

       Ahhhhh.......

       This is cool. The more intelligent, the better. You accidentally delete a file and then punch your monitor up against the wall and hear, "Wow, you kill files so smooth but you punch like a byotch!"

       That's the idea, [reensure]... sassy behaviour modification in a Spock monotone.

       The word 'whinging', in Australia, is statistically most commonly followed by the word 'pom'.

       Spock? I imagine it with a thick Brooklyn accent.   

       Mouse: Ey! You smack me down like dat again an' I'll shove dat pointah right up ya (beep).

       That's true, [IT]. Present company excluded.

       //Since I snapped the motherboard and broke the keyboard of my laptop by beating it with a coffee mug, I have been thinking along these very lines.//
   

       Thank you [pooduck], (from Punch Mouse idea) Now I know I'm not the only one. I've never thought of resorting to a coffee cup, though. This cracks me up for minutes at a time just visualizing the whole thing happening.
