Man, you are so off base here. You've never noticed:
classic car owners emotionally attached to their cars?
musicians emotionally attached to their instruments?
chefs attached to their knives?
craftsmen (woodworkers especially) attached to their tools?
Most people have emotional attachments to some inanimate
objects (family heirlooms, mementos etc.). It often happens
that we will acquire tools that work so well for us that
they are a pleasure to work with and may even feel like
extensions of ourselves, and it is not unusual for us to become
fond of those tools. Computers, particularly Macs have long
been observed to be objects of affection. Haven't you been
reading this list?

You didn't realize Mac owners would be emotionally attached to their
computers? I think we must ask you to step over to the polygraph
machine.
You have an emotional attachment to a tool? That would be touching
if not
so disturbing.
