What gender is your computer?

Here are the arguments for both sides:


It’s male because:



  1. No one but their creator understands their internal logic

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

  3. They are 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 little longer, you could have gotten a better model

  5. Even the smallest mistakes are stored in long term memory for possible later retrieval

or….


It’s female because:



  1. No one but their creator understands their internal logic

  2. They have a lot of data but still can't think for themselves

  3. They are 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 little longer, you could have gotten a better model

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

  6. In order to do anything with them, you have to turn them on

Update:  OK, Due to popular demand I’ve reorder the items.  Numbers 1, 3 and 4 works for both male and female.

they should be switched, the first set of problems are if the computer was female and the second set for if it was male.
