Think your computer is a very clever but sexless object? Then think again. Scientists have been trying to determine if computers are male or female. Part of their research included a survey to several men and women. The results made interesting reading.
The women concluded that computers were masculine 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 are supposed to help you solve your problems, but half the time they are the problem.
4. As soon as you decide on the one you want, you realise you should have waited a little bit longer and got a much better model.
The men, however, concluded that computers were feminine because:-
1. No one but their creator understands their internal logic.
2. The language they use to communicate with one another 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 pay on accessories.
