Yeah I can just see it:



 I just wanted to be able to pick
up my mail easily. That's why I became a point. It seemed so harmless. How
could something like this be so evil?



Then he started sending me Tobruk. At first I ignored it and deleted them
off my hard disk. But they just kept coming. Over and over and over, until
one day I just snapped.



I picked up the axe and started pounding the computer, again and again. I
don't know how many times I hit it but the next thing I remember was
standing over the computer's broken body. It's electronics were spread all
over the room. I was covered in bits of plastic from head to toe.



That's when I realised that I needed help.





Paul
