Pu the Owl is on a distinguished road
Many times my stupid machines tried to give me a nervous breakdown. Not only viruses were the cause... Microsoft is guilty as well...

Some other times it was more strictly hardware problems like fried monitors, motherboard agonizing, modem trying to commit seppuku involving other stuff in the process, random parts exploding or not responding anymore...

I found myself freed from computer slavery (addiction I would say) every time this happened. I discovered when you are not dependant anymore you have a lot of time for other activities, like reading, watching a movie... even breathing is more satisfactory. This doesn't mean "all or nothing", it simply means there are options other than sitting in front of a machine all day. Sounds silly and obvious, but it is not... for example... what in the world am I doing here at 6:40 am? I forgot I had to go to sleep...

Oh well...
