Well, angry's okay. As long as it doesn't go psychotic.

If it's smart enough to be angry, chances are good it's already psychotic and is just waiting for a chance to strike...

I wonder...does it dream?

Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?

Interestingly enough, the ST:TNG episode Descent was on recently...the one where Data has a moment of anger, tries to experience more emotion and can't and then ends up with the Borg and Lore and betrays the Federation.

Okay, I need to spend more time in the real world.

Did it say, "EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE!"?

What's it going to do, threaten you with a plunger?

If only. Daleks may be unique in having a generic, easily replaceable user.

Well what is the reason for the computer's anger?

Is it upset that it isn't a server or a Bannana 9000?
Is it unhappy that its running windows me?
That the computer is an it and not a he or she?

Is the computer jealous that its not hooked up to a spiffy scanner, like the other computer?
Is the computer feeling unloved because its not a laptop and doesnt go places?

You need to get to the bottom of its anger before it gets out of hand and skynet results.

Anger is only a surrogate for other emotions.

At least, that's what they told me in rehab.

I'm a tech-savvy nerd friend.

Wow. My skin actually crawled.

*laughing* I always tell tech support that I'm the technology interpreter for the person I'm calling for. Every time I do that I get a higher level of service and the person I'm talking to seems relieved that they don't have to play the "this is a mouse, this is how you click" game.

I have yet to tell anyone that the computer is very angry though... That's classic!

i've always used the phrase "technological interface" myself.
