Perhaps a map pointing to the actual location of his computer on his desk (or her as case may be) would be more appropriate.

How about this one?

EDIT: actually, I think we're trying to post the same one but it simply maps for me as Redmond, WA in either case.

Well, I think s/he wants a map to the sea so s/he can throw the computer in.

Another map - with directions!

They're missing some letters. They mean that they'd like to wrap up their computer's C: drive as a gift, perhaps for Valentine's Day, but they need help cracking the case and figuring out which drive is the hard drive, and which hard drive is the C: drive. In case of multiple partitions on the same hard drive, you may need a hacksaw.

Well obviously they're looking for directions to the beach.

1) Someone has told them to go to My Computer -> C: drive, but they don't know how to find it.

2) They can't find My Computer, and are including a smiley. C:

If they're using Vista it's not called My Computer anymore, presumably because of conversations like: "Click on My Computer." "How can I see your computer from here?"

Maybe he wants to map to the c: drive of someone elses machine?

Or simply draw him a picture of him in paint with him sitting at his computer and point an arrow at "My Computer".

They obviously want a map to their computer, and C: is just a smiley face.
