Determined to put an end to the seemingly endless cycle of computer frustration and anxiety that plagues the  everyday lives of so many Americans, Crucial.com has joined forces with bona fide tough guy and recovering frustrated computer user, Lou Ferrigno, to help Americans get tougher on their computers this summer.

June 7, 2013  through August 16, 2013, all frustrated computer users are invited to visit toughoncomputers.com  and submit a short video, 30 seconds or less, depicting their most fearsome, frustration-filled, computer-induced roar. A five-person judging panel including marketing professionals, judges  from Crucial.com, and Lou Ferrigno himself will carefully review all video  submissions according to the following criteria: volume, enthusiasm, as well as  perceived distress, frustration, anxiety, irritation, and overall  hopelessness.  The entry with the most  frightening computer-induced roar as determined by Lou and the other judges  will be awarded $5,000.  The judges will  select two runners-up who will each receive a complimentary computer memory  upgrade courtesy of Crucial.com, with a retail value up to $200.  The winners must sign a release to allow  Crucial.com to publicly display the winning videos online.  No purchase is necessary to enter.

"Computers can bully us. A slow and unreliable system will bring even the toughest soul to  their knees as they find themselves completely defenseless against the erratic  whims of their rogue machine," said Lou Ferrigno. "As a recovering frustrated  computer user myself, I have seen computers cause much agony and pain, and it's  about time for all Americans to stop being victimized by their computers."

Think you've got the nation's most frightening computer-induced roar of frustration? Visit ToughOnComputers.com and submit a 30-seconds or less video that shows Lou just how frustrated you  are at your computer by using your loudest, most fearsome, spine-tingling roar.  Also, be sure to check out how an experienced "roarer" like Lou Ferrigno overcame  his computer frustrations.

"It is absolutely stunning how many of us find ourselves completely at the mercy of  an underperforming computer.  We place an  enormous amount of trust in our computers both at work and at home, and when they  fail to deliver, the feelings of helplessness, panic and frustration are so deeply maddening that we often have no other recourse but to let it all out from  the bottom of our lungs," said Roddy McLean, Crucial.com e-Commerce Marketing  Manager. "Amazingly, a lot of the common computer problems that cause great  amounts of frustration are simply due to insufficient system memory and can be  quickly and easily fixed with a do-it-yourself memory upgrade. It really is  about time that we take control and show our computers who's boss here."
