The virii caused her hard drive to fail. Then, when she attempted to
replace it, she broke the IDE connector on the Mobo. When replacing the
motherboard, she forgot to use grease on the heatsink and fried the cpu.
Then, after replacing the cpu, with grease this time, she tried to
install the RAM backwards and had to cut a slot in the stick with a nail
file to make it fit. Then when plugging the computer in, she neglected
to note that it was too close to the edge of the desk, and fell out an
open window, three stories down, and crashed through the windshield of a
2003 Buick Park Avenue.

But it's much better now.
