Are Computers Male or Female?
To answer the question, should computers be addressed as "she" or "he", a CEO set up two groups of computer experts. The first was comprised of women, and the second of men. Each group was asked to recommend whether computers should be referred to in the feminine gender, or the masculine gender. They were asked to give 4 reasons for their recommendation.
The group of women reported that the computers should be referred to in the masculine gender because :
1. In order to get their attention, you have to turn them on.
2. They have a lot of data, but are still clueless.
3. They are supposed to help you solve problems, but half the time they are the problem.
4. As soon as you commit to one, you realize that, if you had waited a little longer you could have had a better model.
The men, on the other hand concluded that Computers should be referred to in the feminine gender because :
1. No one but the Creator understands their internal logic.
2. The native language they use to communicate with other computers is incomprehensible to everyone else.
3. Even your smallest mistakes are stored in long-term memory for later retrieval.
4. As soon as you make a commitment to one, you find yourself spending half your paycheck on accessories for it.
Look! Up in the sky. It's a bird. It's a plane. No, it's an EMP!

Im pretty sure that Macs are male and windows based computers are female
Team wolfs I had to perform. It took a minute to get it all in my mouth and another five to swallow it all.

I think mine is a male. If I pull up the browsing history it seems to spend a lot of time at porn sites. So it must be a male.
