Computers vs. Kids

I am convinced, after this morning more than ever, that computers are worse spoiled brats that children sometimes are.

Mine is acting like the consummate whiny baby today. So I will let it have its tantrum, shut it down, and let it get over itself.

Like I used to tell the kids, "Put on your big kid pants and deal with it!"

I wonder what the equivalent to big kid pants is for a computer?
