The thought has most definitely occurred to me, but the difference is continuity. Even when I'm asleep, some part of my consciousness is still active, and throughout my 29 years of existence, no matter how many of my cells have died, nothing has caused a cessation of ME. But since it would be perfectly possible for computer me and ME me to exist at the same time and converse, then computer me still isn't me in any way that is useful to ME.
