Can you be sentimental about machines?

I'm sentimental about my car and my first ever computer, bought over 30 years ago and with A COLOUR SCREEN!

30 years ago? You look so young, that must have been a good paper route.
I'm sentimental about some cars and my first 24-track tape machine.

Men and cars.:)

I would be too.

I genuinely love my Charizard. I've had that bitch since 1998. I transferred him up every generation. I mean, in an unhealthy way. As if it's alive. http://www.nowcultured.com/images/2013/09/pokemon-firered-leafgreen-artwork/fire-red-charizard-pokemon-trainer.jpg
It's just pixels on a screen but... shit I love the little guy. I raised him from a baby. A good magnet would wipe him out completely.
If he was corporeal, I'd ask if you'd take me for a ride.
I'm pretty attached to my vibrators. Lovely, little bobs.
Mine is more love/hate.
Like...I :heart: my pacemaker?

You're attached.

Oh, you! It was 1984, an Amstrad CPC464, with 64K total hard drive memory and a cassette drive for games that, in one memorable case, took 17 minutes to load. And programmable in BASIC. I loved it so very much.

False modesty suits you, you know I'm right.

I have no idea what that is but it's sounds prehistoric by today's standards. I had a typewriter and a library card in 1984.

I'm really not young any longer and have not been for some considerable time, but I shall take you saying it with great pleasure. And I could get very geeky very quickly if you induce me to talk to much about the lovely Amstrad, so I shall simply say that it would indeed seem prehistoric by today's standards, but it was revolutionary for its own time and far more efficient in its use of space than our modern behemoths. </Nerdiness.>
 
John Conner was pretty broken up at the end of Terminator 2.
 
I am still way to sentimental about my first pick-up truck, my first tractor, and a couple race cars.

Okay, gramps.;)

I don't know anything about computers, I've only had them for about ten years. So you can nerd out and I'll smile like I understand.
