Does anybody else love their computer?

Musings

Ok, maybe love is too strong of a word.
But I seriously am digging my laptop these days.

I routinely have this feeling that my laptop is a part of me. I work on it all day, then do side work/projects at night...my hands are attached to this thing. Not only that, but I absolutely love the KDE desktop now that I have taken the time to get used to it.

Running Linux (various flavors in the past, but currently running Kubuntu (Edgy Eft)) has really allowed me to get familiar with the machine. Some by choice, some because I had to do some minor tweaking to get all the parts working like they should.

It isn't the best and brightest machine out there, but it does the trick for me. 1.86 ghz Centrino, 2gb DDR2 RAM, 60gb hard drive. At times I think about how cool it would be to get a duo core with a bigger display, but then I wonder if I will miss this laptop when it dies.

 

Does anybody else form a bond to their machine?

EDIT:  I no longer have this laptop, stay tuned for some info about my new-to-me Dell XPS lappy.

But to be honest, I can not stand my laptop - it blows. My desktop is super sweet at work and the one at home is so-so.

Now is the time to change all of that Todd. Just send me your laptop in the mail, I will install Linux on it and then keep it. :)
