Computer Gender


 
Aware of the fact that ships are addressed as "she," a computer professor wondered what gender computers were, so he asked his students....

The women reported that computers are definitely male because:

1. In order to get their attention, you have to turn them on.

2. They have a lot of data but are still clueless.

3. They're supposed to help you solve problems but half the time they are the problem.

4. As soon as you commit to one, you realize that if you had waited a bit longer you could have had a better model.

The men concluded that computers are female because:

1. No one but the creator understands their internal logic.

2. The native language they use to communicate with each other is incomprehensible to everyone else.

3. Even your smallest mistakes are stored in long-term memory for later retrieval.

4. As soon as you make a commitment to one, you find yourself spending half your paycheck on accessories for it.
