heh, your timing is uncanny; today i was just noticing how quickly the foulness escapes my mouth when i'm dealing with any computer slowness/stupidness.
(and, i too address the computer as "you." i HATE you, fuck you so SO much, WHY do you ha-a-a-a-ate me?? etc).
Just tell them you're trying out the new voice interface.
If you want to be really snarky to them (and have a later version of Windoze installed), use the Narrator to have it respond to you (Start->Accessories->Accessibility->Narrator)
I talk to my computer all the time. We have arguments about whether the hardware is configured properly. It says no and I say yes, fuck you, I put you together correctly, so work dammit. And it beeps. A lot.
My dear, I don't think you need additional friends, but I have this thing for brilliant women with a sense of humor, and chuck_lynn credits you with the term "dicksmack", which scored you more points than can be counted with me...I'd very much like to add you to my little journal world.
