I have formed a very very tight bond with my Lappy. We rarely go anywhere apart. I have never been without her for more than 12 hours. I sleep with her, she keeps me warm on cold nights. I take care of her, she takes care of me. I'm never alone when she's around. It may sound strange to you, my bonding in such an intimate way with an inanimate object, but it really is a fulfilling relationship. I think it's a beautiful relationship. And it's real.
