I saw the following in someone’s sig and loved it:

“TAD (Technology Attachment Disorder) is an unshakable, impractical devotion to a brand, platform, product line, or programming language. It’s relatively harmless among the rank and file, but when management is afflicted the damage can be measured in dollars. It’s also contagious — someone with sufficient political clout can infect an entire organization.”
