I've always been abusive to my computers.* They never let me
  down though.* I like running programs or doing things that make
  it use all of its memory at once, whatever processors are there,
  and really struggle hard.* It forces me to make it 'lean' and
  have only what it needs so that it's ready to take whatever
  punishment I give to it. I keep it very clean though.* Dust is
  enemy #1. [I'm even rough on the keys.* I'm already on my 2nd
  keyboard on this laptop and it's just over 2 years old]. But I
  also dog-ear books and freely used highligher and wrote in the
  pages of my textbooks in school.* Heck, I was there to learn.* I
  driven many people nuts.* If I get a paperback that I bought,
  first thing I do is crack the spine so it lays flat - and I
  always do it around someone who is very protective of books.*
  OMG HOW CAN YOU DO THAT!? and I just smirk and say nothing. Wow,
  I'm evil sometimes :P
