Here's a classic from Rapskat. He permitted me to quote it verbatim.

| Dear Abby...
|
| Help! My computer is sick!!!
|
| It really is, it's got to be something serious!
|
| Before, when I ran Windows, my computer never overstressed itself. It
| knew the importance of frequent breaks and had no problem letting mek
| now when it was tired or just didn't feel like doing anything. It took
| naps when it wanted, rebooted often and never did more than its share. It
| was always crying out for attention when it wanted it, it made me feell
| ike I was special and truly needed for its survival. I used to shower it
| with expensive anti-malware programs and security software, frequent
| scandisks and defrags, cleaned it up often to keep it running happily
| along. I made sure I kept it safe from all the bugs and nasties running
| rampant out in the cruel world. I took it to the shop ever so often so
| it could be groomed and tuned up. Everything was fine!
