Gender of computers (by jonson007)

A scientist had previously been a
sailor. He was very aware that ships
were addressed as "she" and "her".
He often wondered what gender
computers should be addressed as. To
answer that question, he set up two groups of computer experts.
The first group was composed of
women, and the second of men. Each
group was asked to recommend
whether computers should be
referred to in the feminine gender, or the
masculine gender. They were asked to
give four reasons for their
recommendations.
The group of women reported that
computers should be referred to in the masculine gender because:
In order to get their attention you
have to turn them on.
The have a lot of data, but are still
clueless.
They are supposed to help you solve problems, but half the time they
are the problem themselves.
As soon as you commit to one, you
realize that if you had waited a
little longer you could have had a
better model. The men, on the other hand,
concluded that computers should be
referred to in the feminine gender
because:
No one but the Creator understands
their internal logic. The native language they use to
communicate with other computers is
incomprehensible to everyone else.
Even your smallest mistakes are stored
in long-term memory for later
retrieval. As soon as you make a commitment to
one, you find yourself spending
half of your paycheck on accessories
for it.
