Why computers seem male: -- They have a lot of data but are still clueless. -- They are supposed to help you solve problems, but half the time, they are the problem. -- As soon as you commit to one you realize that, if you had waited a little longer, you could have obtained a better model. -- In order to get their attention, you have to turn them on. -- Big power surges knock them out for the rest of the night.
