When i was doing tech support at my last company, i got a ticket in the queue opened by the oldest person in the company. The ticket was pretty vague and all it said was that her CDROM wasn't reading CD's. Because of her age, I didn't want to try and troubleshoot with her over the phone first, so I decided to just stop by. When I get there the first thing I notice is that she's got a SUPER-OLD pc, that dosen't even have a CDROM. I asked her to show me what she was doing exactly and sure enough she was taking the cd's and putting them into the air ventilation slits in the front of the case. After opening the case I found like 5 cd's just sitting directly on the motherboard. She was really embarrased when I told her that computer didn't have a CDROM but I told her EVERYONE made that mistake. She took her own life the very next day.

Not really an appropriate comment here.

She was an older woman. Assuming she had children, she successfully passed her genes to the next generation.

I disagree, anyone who commits suicide should be ridiculed and derided as a complete asshole. That way people considering such a move won't be fooled into thinking it's the way to be remembered with fondness and respect missing from their lives.
