  Harris spent days trying to fix the computer, but the programs had
  multiplied to the point where he couldn't run anything else and he
  decided to give up on the machine. Last week, the 68-year-old retired
  aerospace engineer from Yorktown, Va., shelled out $1,000 for a new
  computer, but now he and his wife, Dorothy, use it only when absolutely
  necessary.

  "We have just about quit using the computer," he said. "It isn't worth
  the aggravation."
