Interesting, I get the same, but for electronics/anything mechanical. Also the longer I have some device the more attached I get to it.

- caseyohara 3y agoI love that ad. It was directed by Spike Jonze, which is very fitting. "Many of you feel bad for this lamp. That is because you're crazy; it has no feelings! And the new one is much better."

- SamPatt 3y agoI have computers from the 90s which I will almost certainly never touch again, but they played such a big role in my young life I can't seem to toss them. I keep thinking I'll boot them back up one day and show my kids.
