A pastor of a church
had
previously been a sailor.
He was very aware that ships are addressed as
"she" and "her".
He often wondered what gender computers should be addressed.
To
answer that question, he
set up two groups of computer experts.
The first group was composed 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
recommendations.
The group of women
reported that 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 of your paycheck on accessories for it.
