Nice piece, I can certainly relate to that.
I'm going to show that to my poor suffering colleagues who receive PC DOA complaints from end users.

Especially:
So next time your PC flakes on you, remember - Don't be upset that it's stopped working, be amazed that it ever did.

And spare a thought for all those little transistors whose all too brief existence was spent serving your needs...you never did bother to find out exactly what they did.
