I say computers are male. This is my reasoning: When they hang up or get disconnected, they can't "find the server". Well, did they ask the back button? NO. I swear, I'm going to wear out my back button helping this MALE computer find his way on the Internet highway.

Midear Dixie- Boats are girls. My motorcycle is a male, in a dogish sort of way. I think my 'puter is a boy, but the printer seems to be a girl. My Ex Gf's little pickup was a girl, but my company van is a boy. All the Autopilots I have ever sailed with were male- either named 'Otto' or 'Iron Mike'. I think my coffee pot is a lesibian. Stay warm, Lawrence

mmmm now Im curious - wondering what tendencies topcat's coffee pot is showing to make him think its lesbian. I think my computer is male becuase even when you try and put the right information in it doesnt always work the way I want it to lol smiles ruby

Midear Stef- The bike is named Bike or Damn Machine, but after 198,000 miles, I should call it ol' Faithful. quote: Did it come with it's own U-haul? LOL! No, it just keeps sliding closer to the dishrack, which is also a girl. I know the coffeemaker is a girl becuase it requires regular maintaince, and sometimes just doesn't work for no apparent (to me) reason. Stay Warm, Lawrence

My last computer was a female. And a bit masochistic. "She" suffered from mood swings, would act up for no apparent reason and at times would refuse to boot up unless I smacked "her". All in all, "she" was a "good girl" but alas I had to replace "her". As for my new one, I'm still waiting to see. [:D] lol Take care, [image]local://upfiles/17000/181D108ACBCD46F49E392D53FF54F4E4.gif[/image]

A friend had a 74 (I think) R60/6 that he said he knew was a guy because it was constantly breaking down and fucking him in the ass [:D] At some point during all that, he named it 'Schweinhund'. ~stef
