This is an autobiographical example of the experience in modern business of outrageously ruinous competition and what happens to businesses and people who get bitten by the computeritis bug and cannot get undone. Computeritis is an experience beyond business of the firsthand craziness of computers themselves, and includes the authoras ability to find ways to overcome computeritis and survive the technological age. It may even be possible to survive happily, if we just face ourselves and go forward into life.
