I'd have to beg to differ there. I don't know about others but the computer offers something unique for me.
I, myself, tend to compare the computer to more of a (metaphorically speaking) musical instrument than anything else.
To me, when I sit down to the computer and code, it becomes an extension of myself. I love to delve into multimedia programming. Lines upon lines of endless code, working towards some end result...some visual product.
Albeit, that's not all I do, but I sure do a hella lot of it. To me, the "geek/nerd-computer-tunnel-vision" is a release. I'd like to think there's something Zen about it.
