Ships for many years have been characterized as women ( She's listiing toward starbord Captain or Steady as she goes). Recently a group a computer scientist (all male) announced that computers should also be reffered to as female. Thier reasons for drawing this conclusion are as follows.
No one but the creator understands thier logic.
the native language they use to communicate with each other is incomprehensible to anyone else.
The message "bad command or file name" is as informative as. "if you don't know why I'm mad at you then I'm certainly not going to tell you".
Even the smallest mistakes are kept 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.
However, another group of computer scientist (all female) thinks that computers should be refered to as if they were male. Thier reasons are as follows.
They have data but are still clueless.
They are supposed to slove problems but half the time they ARE the problem.
As soon as you commit to one, you realize that if you would have waited a bit longer you could have obtained a better model..
In order to get thier attention you have to turn them on.
