Pray for her, then remind her she must work to achieve the attitude of Christ , he did not judge, he forgave, to be saved is good but to be saved transformed and spirit led is to live as Christ no one is perfect, no not one. no one is without sin even our most righteous deeds are as dirty filthy rags. if after all this remove yourself, God is not about hurt and pain ,you are the head not the tail. God will lead you when you ask ,listen and truly hear. God made the men who built the computers , the purpose for which we use them is human or spirit led, She will return when she grows

It sounds like your friend is afraid of any negative influences that can come into your home via the computer. There are many people that won't watch TV or listen to the radio or read papers for the same reason. They don't want to be "polluted" by the world. If you were downloading porn or demonic-rock or other stuff like that, I could understand her concern. However, you make no mention of non-Christian activities.
Since you call her your friend, sit down with her, and ask her to detail her reasoning for you. If she really understands the reasons "WHY" she believes all of this "computers and internet are bad", then she will be able to do this. She may have to write it down, or find you another written resource to read. Ask her AS A FRIEND to explain herself. You will want to tell her why you find her sound bites disturbing.
Once there is total understanding (not agreement, that may not happen), you can have another conversation. If you agree with her points, then get rid of your computer and never log onto the internet again. If you disagree, then be honest and tell her that. "I disagree with your stance on computers and the internet, and this is why....".
After one of these 2 conversations has taken place, they never really have to be had again. She is not your wife, and cannot order you to get rid of any of your household appliances! She also does not have the right to order about your personal time, being "just a friend". Hopefully you can agree to disagree on this matter, and remain friends.
Best of luck.

Computers are not evil. Sometimes they are used for evil purposes.
God gave man intelligence. He's used it from the beginning, & so far, computers are some of the best things we've come up with.
Tell the woman, politely, to get a life. Use what God gave her, you'll use what God gave you...

Are the gospel tracts you write out as grammatically inept and hard to read and understand as this question was? Is English your first language?

It depends what you do with a computer. A computer is not in it's self wrong. Just like a deck of cards aren't wrong until YOU do wrong with them, such as gambling.
