just finished reading an article about computers and a short study to determine the sex of a computer. They had two groups, male and female and they came up with this so far:-

The Woman determined a computer must be male

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 are supposed to help you solve problems but half the time they are the problem

4 as soon as you commit to one you realise that if you had waited a little longer you could have had a better model

The Men determined a computer must be female

1 no one but their creator understands their internal logic

2 the language they use to communicate with other computers is incomprehensible to everyone else

3 even your smallest mistakes are stored in long term memory for later retreival

4 as soon as you make a commitment to one you find yourself spending half your pay on accessories and maintenance

Which do you think is right?? Are Computers like ships and female or are they male?

errrrr How many times have you told the forum that Chris. Computers are mechanical/electrical things, programmed by humans. Stop talking to them. You need children and/or a pet LOL

good point. I spose it depends on what peripherals and internal hardware the computer has as well.


I refer to my computer as a box or a rig. :D

I'd say that my computer is a male because it is powerful.

76706 2002-09-05 11:29:00 Defineately a Woman...... can't keep my eyes of her LOL, plus, keeps me poor - what with HP and Internet charges, not to mention the cost of the ruddy second line.

Haven't got a name for her though. Yet!
