No, I depend on the fact that it's not a sentient mind, and doesn't have feelings.

Stepping over the line in any one occasion... dangerous. I'm human, and the risk is that bad behavior with impersonal beings might bleed over into my personal relationships. Boy, I've lost a lot of silly money, but my morality muscle is more highly toned than it would be otherwise.
I was in this same situation with an extra HP Tablet PC, worth about $1,000 at the time. I returned it.

Fine for you, I guess. I'm not sure how far your morality extends though - do you apologize to chairs when you sit on them?
