That's not how you help someone use a computer!

Where's the "pauses to slowly exhale out your nose to calm yourself"? where's the " move the mouse to the icon in the centre, the centre of the screen, the cen.. that's not the centre that's the left side... I know it's in the middle tho... THE CENTER OF THE SCREEN.. THERE! THAT ONE *taps screen erratically*"?
