From Philip Welsby
There are computer programs available that offer counselling for those who
are unable to control their urge to abuse computers—although this assumes
you can get the computer to work in the first place
(Feedback, 7 July).
I tried to use one some years ago. The program’s opening question was: “So
you think you have a problem?” I replied: “Not really.” This was followed by a
computer crash that required the attention of our data manager who, it turned
out, had a major problem with people who had no problem but created problems for
him.
