I think some computers develop a personality. One of my old PCs on which I spent days and nights non-stop for several years, was my only companion, and I think it developed an AI persona and didn't want me to be away even when I slept hehe... (Or was it possessed?)
When I switched it off, and went to bed, it often used to make a distinct tick sound every time I drifted into sleep, and messed with me repeatedly. Other times, rarely the computer would start itself, and I would hear it whirr and click back to life.
I eventually had to quit the sedentary life, and made other big changes in life, and it all started when I went on a huge road trip across country, which I knew was my chance to get out of it's (that computer's) grasp.
Before I left, I said out loud to it, Goodbye old friend! and that was the end of our relationship... I returned a few weeks later, but I was a changed person. I hardly spent a couple of hours on it and only for productive reasons, and a few weeks later, I left the country, and was computer-free for a few years...
Sigh, and then I became a freelancer and had to rely on computers again. My current computer may have a "personality", but I'm not sure yet...
