@/+='!****!!! Road rage has got nothing on this ...
Article Abstract:
It is becoming increasingly common for people to suffer from computer rage. In some cases, this is prompted by being faced with a computer that is not functioning properly. In other cases, it is prompted by a failure to obtain satisfactory assistance from the supplier's customer service line or by the fact that another member of the family is using the only available computer. It can be very difficult to ascertain whether a supplier will really live up to its promises regarding customer service levels.

Exhibits include 'Everyday Disco,' by Sarah Morris and Alex Darlington, which focuses on the movement of the body to sound, atmosphere and objects. Stephanie Hankey's 'Stringer Field Kit' is for use in areas with unreliable telecommunication systems.
