Females and Computers

(page last updated 30/08/98).

The top six reasons computers are female:-

1. As soon as you make a commitment to one, you find yourself spending half of your paycheck on accessories for it.
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".
3. The native language used to communicate with other computers is incomprehensible to everyone else.
4. Even your smallest mistakes are immediately committed to memory for future reference.
5. No one but the creator understands the internal logic.
6. As soon as you have one, a better one is just around the corner.
7. The choice available to you is proportional to the contents of your wallet.
8. The older it gets, the less likely it is to be capable of doing what you demand from it.
9. Simple requests often result in unpredictable responses.
10. Your current model is unlikely to be useful after the year 2000.
