So a non-techie friend of mine just e-mailed me this joke that I thought was pretty damm funny so I'm going to post it....and no I'm not going through it line by line to get rid of the double spacing and make it look all pretty...I will do it when Exchange 2000 works with Windows Server 2003; I promise. ;)

Male or Female

===============

As you are aware, ships have long been characterized as being

female (e.g., "Steady as she goes", or "She's listing to

starboard, Captain!").  Recently, a group of computer scientists

(all males) announced that computers should also be referred to

as female.  Their reasons for drawing this conclusion follow.

Five reasons to believe computers are female:

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. 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."

4. Even your smallest mistakes are stored in long-term memory

   for later retrieval.

5. As soon as you make a commitment to one, you find yourself

   spending half your paycheck on accessories for it.

However, another group of computer scientists (all female) think

that computers should be referred to as if they were male.

Their reasons follow.

Five reasons to believe computers are male:

1. They have a lot of data, but are still clueless.

2. They are supposed to help you solve problems, but half the

   time they are the problem.

3. As soon as you commit to one, you realize that, if you had

   waited a little longer, you could have obtained a better model.

4. In order to get their attention, you have to turn them on.

5. Big power surges knock them out for the rest of the night.
