Is your computer male or female? As you are aware, ships have long been
characterized as being female (e.g., "Steady as she goes", or "She's listing to
starboard, Captain!"). Recently, a group of computer scientists (all males)
announced that computers should also be referred to as being female. Their
reasons for drawing this conclusion follow
1. No one but the Creator understands their
internal logic.
2. The native language they use to communicate
with other computers is incomprehensible to everyone
else.
3. The message "Bad command or file name" is
about as informative as, "If you don't know why I'm
mad at you, then I'm certainly not going to tell
you".
4. Even your smallest mistakes are stored in
long-term memory for later retrieval.
5. As soon as you make a commitment to one, you
find yourself spending half your paycheck on
accessories for it. However, another group of
computer scientists (all female) think that
computers should be referred to as if they were
male. Their reasons follow:
1. They have a lot of data, but are still
clueless.
2. They are supposed to help you solve
problems, but half the time they are the
problem.
3. As soon as you commit to one you realize
that, if you had waited a little longer, you
could have obtained a better model.
4. In order to get their attention, you have
to turn them on.
5. Big power surges knock them out for the
rest of the night
