An excuse to get off of AIM or any instant messaging service when you don't want to talk to someone. Very effective, because everyone's computer acts retarded sometimes.
Jane: You know Amy, I'm so glad I can talk to you. You're the only person who really understands my relationship problems with Mike.

Amy: Yeah. My computer is acting retarded so don't be surprised if I suddenly log off AIM.
