My dear Susan... Men think computers should be referred to as females, just like ships, because: * No one but the Creator understands their internal logic. * The language they use to communicate with other computers is incomprehensible to everyone else. * The message "Bad command or file name" is about as informative as "If you don't know why I'm mad at you, I'm certainly not going to tell you". * 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 your paycheck on accessories for it. Women think computers should be referred to as male. Here's why: ¨ They have a lot of data, but they are still clueless. ¨ They are supposed to help you solve problems, but half the time, they ARE the problem. ¨ As soon as you commit to one, you realize if you had waited a little longer, you could have obtained a better model. ¨ In order to get their attention, you have to turn them on. ¨ A big power surge will knock them out for the rest of the night.
