Wikipedia has an entry for the term "computer rage": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_rage , which seems to have a certain amount of acceptance in the academic community, but it doesn't seem to have the ability to catch on (not going to say the m-word, not going to say the m-word...) the way "road rage" or "workaholic" do.
Notice that discussing ways of reducing this frustration are not part of the discussion.
