You've misunderstandood what a PCD is. They are mission devices, assigned by NASA, used to access mission data and communications. They are called "personal" because they are assigned to specific astronauts rather than shared equipment. They didn't bring their own laptops from home. That's why they were receiving tech support from NASA to address Micro$lop's buggy software.

Kind of ironic to be speaking about ignorance.
