The best I ever saw was snail-mailed to me from somebody like Computer World
about a decade ago.

It had an image of a user literally in the death grip of a PC.  (There was
a skeletal steel arm coming out of the computer choking the user.)  There
were two people standing in the background taking in the scene.  The 
caption underneath read:

        "Don't worry.  Donald McLachlan will know what to do."

I loved it!  Not only that, but they acutally spelled my surname correctly!

I never did subscribe to the magazine, but I did cut out the cartoon and
hang it on the wall for ages.  I bet it is still here in a drawer somewhere.

P.S. my stock solution is "A hacksaw."
