- The wrong forum.
- The way you put the question to us.
- Lurk more.
I see no logical way computers can be associated with either male or female properties. If anything, I'd say it's more representative of the female because it does what you tell it to, but is a **** about it.
The Precious - no sex allocated...
no sex stored either <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Subject: Computers DO Have A Gender
Five reasons computers must be female...
5. No one but their creator understands their internal logic.
4. Even your smallest mistakes are immediately committed to memory for future reference.
3. The native language used to communicate with other computers is incomprehensible to everyone else.
2. 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."
1. As soon as you make a commitment to one, you find yourself spending half your paycheck on accessories for it.
In the interest of gender equality ...
TOP 5 REASONS WHY COMPUTERS MUST BE MALE
5. They're heavily dependent on external tools and equipment.
4. They periodically cut you off right when you think you've established a network connection.
3. They'll usually do what you ask them to do, but they won't do more than they have to and they won't think of it on their own.
2. They're typically obsolete within five years and need to be traded in for a new model. Some users, however, feel they've already got so much invested in the darn thing that they're compelled to remain with an underpowered system.
1. They get hot when you turn them on, and that's the only time you have their attention.

Due to having Male & Female connectors.

If it's a work PC, or storebought, it's Male, since it's there to help you out but in his own bland beige way.
If it's a play PC, or made by you, then it's Female, since the female form is a work of art and she can be delecate, extraverted, and a real Witch with a capital B when she wants to be, and as her father, she can do no wrong in your eyes.

lol I cant be lieve we are having this discussion lol.
but just to add,
hmmm id say mine is a female, I guess.
PCs are currently holding at 65% male, possibly becoming up to 5% more feminine during the week.
The Sims 2 enters the gaming market with a 50:50 male to female ratio.
The Statue of Liberty has moved to 87% female. Big Ben and the Eiffel Tower are becoming increasingly male; the former moving to 64% male and the latter to 59%. Meanwhile, the Pyramids are confused.
Remember that testosterone and estrogen will be switching for next week, so the male/female values for people will be reversed for that time.

Do ships have any logical gender? No. Yet for ages, battleships, destroyers and even little sailing boats have been given female names and associated with the female gender.
Human's tend to assign genders to inanimate objects all the time. My rifle on the rifle team back in high school was "Savana." I haven't quite though up a name for my PC yet, but when I do, it's no doubt going to be female.

As to the gender of my computer, I'd say it's a guy. Dunno why, but I just get the impression.

Well said.
I consider mine a guy. ^^ Though I'm not sure why. Maybe when guys name their stuff they use girl names, and girls name their stuff guy names? Or maybe just based on characteristics - of my knives, I have a slender, elegant aikuchi I consider female, and a large, angular knife I consider male.
Anyone know the gender pronoun for computers in Spanish? Since even inanimate nonliving objects are given a gender in that language...

Also doesn't help when there's a huge skull airbrushed on the side...
PS: Does anyone know how to get liquids out of a DVD-drive?

I have a suspicion that you've killed people, and dressed them up as if they were at a tea party.
