Back in 2012, this was the topic of a very popular German comedy (Stenkelfeld Computerwutcenter), acted out in the style of a mock interview: Mr Pötter: Well, Mr Öldrup, are things a little better now? Otherwise, take a couple of printers and then off to the shooting range. Reporter: In Stenkelfeld, you don't have to succumb to troubles with modern computer technology anymore. After a total crash or file loss, PC users were only able to weep, pray in silence or use the good old gas oven ... but the newly established rage center in Annex 2 of the Jürgen Koppelin Training Center offers frustrated computer users the opportunity to appropriately express their desperation. Next to me is institute director Friedhelm Pötter. Mr Pötter, just a quick question, what solutions do you offer? Mr Pötter: Well, uh, in the large field of word processing, we offer in our hammer chamber the opportunity here to take revenge on the device itself. We use a few decommissioned computers and monitors here, on which one can express one's displeasure. Right? Reporter: And this is being used right now in front of our eyes... Mr Pötter: Yes, here at the 20-kilo hammer, that's the well-known writer Ludwig Ölldrup, uh, who spent four years working on the computer to write his historical homeland novel "Das Große Buchboelken in der Rössnitzer Senke". Finally he wanted to print out the whole thing and now the system tells him "Fatal exception error in drive C:. Path and file name unknown. All saved data will be lost." So he was off straight away to the canal bridge with a calf rope, but luckily we were able to catch him just in time. And now he's given his rage some breathing room, right Mr Ölldrup? Reporter: In addition to all sorts of bite-proof table edges for inconsistencies with Windows 95, a soundproof padded cell for the hapless Macintosh user, and a set of heavy baseball bats for various printer problems, I see a soaked life-size doll with burn marks and strangulation marks... Mr Pötter: Well, this is a faithful recreation of Microsoft CEO Bill Gates, available to be hanged, drowned, or burned. Yesterday, Mr. Öllrich from the Wittmann architects' office tampered with it. After completing all the calculations and drawings for the new district hospital with the MS Statik Pro 5.0 software, the computer accused him of a general protection violation of the graphics card. Afterwards, only small yellow balls could be seen on the monitor. And the message to contact the manufacturer with this problem. And that's what Mr. Öllrich did, as you can see here. Right? Reporter: Yes. Finally let's take a look at the shooting range - a sprawling 50m facility that is getting very busy. Mr Pötter, what is that all about? Mr Pötter: Yes, this one is popular. Here we enable targeted retaliatory measures for disappointments with hardware and peripheral devices - or their compatibility.
