Are Computers Male or Female?

ChillinBuzz	Date: February 26, 2008 @ 7:51 AM Are Computers Male or Female? To answer the question, should computers be addressed as 'she' or 'he' , a CEO set up two groups of computer experts. The first was comprised of women, and the second of men. Each group was asked to recommend whether computers should be referred to in the feminine gender, or the masculine gender. They were asked to give 4 reasons for their recommendation. The group of women reported that the computers should be referred to in the masculine gender 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 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 had a better model. The men, on the other hand concluded that Computers should be referred to in the feminine gender because : 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. 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 paycheck on accessories for it.

Cryxan	Date: February 27, 2008 @ 9:03 PM lol! But to address the question. My desktop computer, even though it's been through a few revisions, OS's, and hardware upgrades, has always been called Ryoko (after the Tenchi Muyo character). And I've had several laptops over the last decade (but never more than one at a time), and that's always been called Leo. When I was naming them, it wasn't a gender issue, but rather what identity I wanted to give the computer. And Ryoko has lived up to her name. heh

ShadowMom	Date: February 28, 2008 @ 6:03 AM I believe I call mine... I can't tell you. But whether it's male or female depends on whether you believe in one deity, and whether you call that deity HE or SHE.
