What the hell is the matter with people who create and spread computer viruses? Why would anyone think this is entertaining? I have had to spend hours, days even, trying to get viruses off my computer and I am still having problems. I can not seem to completely cure my poor computer. Why are people such jerks?

Two writers stop e-mailing each other about what irks them in publishing, teaching, and other realms, and start sharing their thoughts online.
About Us
- Peeves and Rants
- We're Curly Curmudgeon and Prunella Peeve, writers who became friends in graduate school. For the past few years we've maintained our transatlantic friendship mainly via e-mail, where we often share pet peeves and rants about aspects of writing, publishing, teaching, and many other topics. Now we're making it all public. Why? We're not entirely sure. But we hope to find at least a few more like-minded friends in cyberspace.

Curly, you need to become an Apple user! That might reduce some of your difficulties, right?

Yes, I was an Apple user before I moved to Europe. Now I regret leaving behind my Apple loyalty and moving to PCs.
