"The pain... the pain"

I just got off an hour+ call from my 60+ aunt, (who I hardly talk to), trying to help her through a problem with Norton Internet Security. Nevermind the fact that she's in K.C. Missouri, I'm in Cali, and I don't have Norton on my comp, so I can't see what's going on. Also add into the mix she's barely got the basics of using the comp. She can use email and internet. That's it. And I'm not sure how well.
I finally asked her, "When did you get the computer?"
My aunt talks slow. She drawls a lot, and pauses constantly. So the answer took about six more minutes off my life as she told me it's about 5 years old.
She's trying to use Norton Internet Security 2004.
Finally I told her that the probable cause of the whole she-bang is the comp is too old to handle the software.
All this... over an hour. With a woman who takes five minutes for a 3-4 word sentence.
Shoot me. Shoot me right now. And make sure it's fatal.
And I need a suicidal mood icon.
