NEWS Not being able to access a PC is more stressful than waiting for a drink, being stuck in traffic or even spending the weekend with the in-laws. According to a survey conducted by Benchmark Research and commissioned by ICL, 68 per cent of those surveyed said not being able to start a computer would be more stressful than spending the weekend with their partners parents. A further 79 per cent said waiting for a drink in a busy bar would cause far less headaches than starting a PC while a mere 38 per cent said it would be worse than being stuck in traffic. The survey polled 200 people working in the services industry, manufacturing and other industries.
