Laptop Humor, The Funny Side Of Laptops

 

Laptop Computer Gender

As you are aware, ships have long been characterized as being female (for example, "Steady as she goes" or "She's listing to starboard, Captain!").  Remember this is laptop humor.

Recently, a group of computer scientists (all males) announced that laptop computers should also be referred to as being female. Their top five reasons for drawing this conclusion were:

  1. No one but the Creator understands their internal logic.  Hey this is just laptop humor.

  2. The native language they use to communicate with other computers is incomprehensible to everyone else.

  3. 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."

  4. Even your smallest mistakes are stored in long-term memory for later retrieval.

  5. 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 scientists (all female) think that laptop computers should be referred to as if they were male. Their top five reasons were:

  1. They have a lot of data, but are still clueless.

  2. They are supposed to help you solve problems, but half the time they are the problem.

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

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

  5. Big power surges knock them out for the rest of the night.
