XTREME QUIPS

Why computers could be female:

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 money on accessories for it.

Why computers could be male:

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 had you waited a
little longer, you could have got a better model.

A Muppet ad skit from around 1967.

Here is a little ‘test’ that is (supposedly) part of a second grade Computer class in China. The object is to have the red and green frogs switch places. I managed to figure it out pretty quickly. Give it a go and see if you can do it. Others report having to work on it for a week (or more) to solve it.

It really understands you!

Another old version of Microsoft Windows…

Rest in PC comes to mind…

If you don’t count his tail, this would be a cool optical mouse…

This would be a nice monitor system to have. Imagine how many websites you can surf at the same time? Too bad my laptop only supports 1 additional monitor…

Maybe someday I will show you a photo of my real office. Maybe.

Now this is something you don’t see every day. Personally, I would feel unconformable using a fury mouse with my Mac.

For all your leet needs!
