Is "sexy" an appropriate adjective for hardware?

[hardcandy2]

I'm seeing the word "sexy" used to describe hardware more and more these days. I believe it first was used by auto makers and now has spead to all sorts of hardware.
IMHO, if you believe a peice of electronics or mechanical hardware is "sexy" then should you not be seeing a psychiatrist/therapist?
I can understand enjoying using and discusising plastic and metal conglomerations and ican understand using "excitng", "love", "enjoying", and other adjectives/adverbs in hardware related forums, but "sexy"?
Does this not imply some sort of desire for intercourse with a machine? :laugh:

Yes, a piece of hardware can be described with the word "sexy". I have never done so with computer components, but have with electronics. And yes, they excite me.

Girls find a 3.5" floppy to be very sexy.

I only say something is sexy if I want to ****** it so hardware is not considered sexy to me.

With such a wide variety of ports and slots, you can stick just about anything in a modern 'puter!
