Well, I will let the computer "guy" my mom and sister use about this. I'm sure he is aware of it since this IS his area of expertise.

I have basically put an invisible "caution tape" around my desk with the computer so I will not even go near it until a pro can assist me. My "office" is actually my living room since I live in a 500 sq ft apt. It looks lovely now. It looks like a bomb exploded and piles/stacks of paper are taking up a lot of my floor space.

If I stay this angry and upset I'm sure I'll be able to relieve a lot of the built up tension at the April 19 Hands Off protest. I'll redirect my anger. That is the silver linng I guess?
