A group of male computer scientists got together and said that all computers should be considered female. The reasons for this are as follows:

No one but their creator understands their internal logic

The native 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, then I'm certainly not going to tell you."

Even 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.


However a group of female computer scientists got together and determined that all computers should be called male, and listed their reasons:

They have a lot of data but are still clueless

They are supposed to solve problems but half the time, they are the problem

As soon as you commit to one, you realize that if you waited a little longer, you could have obtained a better model

In order to get their attention, you have to turn them on.

Home electronics are the same, in some ways. I am about to redo my den/tv/stereo room. New Marantz receiver, Klipsch speakers and a 60" + 4k TV. Nothing wrong with the current equipment but...
