A SPANISH Teacher was explaining to her class that in Spanish, unlike English, nouns are designated as either masculine or feminine.
'House' for instance, is feminine: 'la casa.' 'Pencil,' however, is masculine: 'el lapiz.'
A student asked, 'What gender is 'computer'?'
Instead of giving the answer, the teacher split the class into two groups, male and female, and asked them to decide for themselves whether computer' should be a masculine or a feminine noun. Each group was asked to give four reasons for its recommendation.
The men's group decided that 'computer' should definitely be of the feminine gender ('la computadora'), because:
1.. No one but their creator understands their internal logic;
2 The native language they use to communicate with other computers is incomprehensible to everyone else;
3. Even the smallest mistakes are stored in long term memory for possible later retrieval; and
4. As soon as you make a commitment to one, you find yourself spending half your paycheck on accessories for it.
(THIS GETS BETTER!)
The women's group, however, concluded that computers should be Masculine ('el ordenador'), because:
1. In order to do anything with them, you have to turn them on;
2. They have a lot of data but still can't think for themselves;
3. They are supposed to help you solve problems, but half the time they ARE the problem; and
4. As soon as you commit to one, you realize that if you had waited a little longer, you could have gotten a better model..
The women won.

well of course its male , if it were female it would just stand in the hall gasbagging all day about how hard it works and eating all the biscuits and drinking all the wine, then it would break down at the slightest hint of a problem and refuse to come out of it's box!!, it would never be home, constantly out shopping, and could never be upgraded simply because as we all know "perfection" cant be improved upon, it would not take input as we all know the female of any species is "all knowing"
now I await the response!!!!!!! Dave don's his hardhat and cringes under cover! safe in the knowledge that he is at least 60 km's from danger
That is one war I hope I never win. I know I have no chance anyhow but.......... I wouldn't want to win it anyway. I love it when they take advantage of my body.
