Your computer: Masculin or Feminin ?

My Athlon rig's name is Ivan. Ivan the Machine. I can curse him if I want. I would feel bad cursing a woman.

How fast it is..........Do you mean, like 'premature', maybe? :D

Five reasons to believe computers are female:

No one but the 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.



Five reasons to believe computers are 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 day (or night).
 
I would have to concur that my machine is female, probably because when she doesn't do what I want I just slap her about (only joking!!). Although she is a little tempremental, she really loves me twiddling with her undercarriage.......

Girlfriends and you

My girlfriend knows that her only direct competition is my computer. Or computers to be exact. I've got Xaero a.k.a. Slave One as my storage system and Neo as my primary usage rig. They are networked through a switch and have a mutual cable connection.

Now that I put 512mb ram in the laptop, it has a bit more muscle. Its still a female, but she's pretty jacked!
 
Never really thought about his before but here we go:

PC 1. Its a Dell p3 500 mhz. Strikes me as having a male personality. Its called HAL. Its been all around the world and still works.

PC 2. I think of this one as like one of those Star trek type computers. you know, with the female voice. ('warp core breech in 30 seconds. have a nice day'). It is rally fradgile (You bump it and it freezes). I have also been known to jump up and hug it on occasions :blush: . Its called Navi, which seems kinda feminine to me.

I still call them 'it' tho
