Computer: Man or Woman

In order to find out if computer are rather male or female, a professor founded two groups of computer experts. The first group consisted of women, the second of men. Each group was asked which gender they would associate with a computer and why.

The women's group thought that computers showed typical male behaviour:
1. In order to gain their attention, you have to turn them on
2. They have a lot of data but are still clueless
3. They should originally help solving problems, but in most cases they ARE the problem
4. As soon as you decided for one, you find out that if you were waiting a bit longer, you would have gotten a better one.

The men's group thought that computers were clearly female, because:
1. No one except their creator understands their internal logic
2. The language they use for communicating with each other is completely incomprehensible for others.
3. Even the slightest mistakes are stored forever
4. As soon as you decided for one, you keep on spending half your salary for additional components.
