THIS IS THE TRUTH |
Five reasons to believe computers are female:
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.The message "Bad command or file name" is about as informative as, "If
you don't know why I'm mad at you, then I'm
certainly not going to tell you."
4.Even your smallest mistakes are stored in long-term memory for later
retrieval.
5.As soon as you make a commitment to one, you find yourself spending
half your paycheck on accessories for it.

You forgot the adendum to #6 ... as soon as you're comfortable with the
older model a newer / faster / flashier one comes along. And that one
carries a different operating system. You have to learn everything over
from scratch. :P
And yes, I'm surprized that you (now we) didn't ruffle a few feather with
this one.

I think most of the women in asd will just sigh, mutter 'not again', and
move on. If you really want attention, post a version showing how
computers are male, for various derogatory reasons - that usually starts
a good thread. It goes to show that we're much more delicate than women.
