Two groups of computer experts were set up in order to findout whether computer is male or female: one group was male, and the other group was female. The group of women reported that computers should be refereed to as " HE" 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 realise that if you had waited a little longer, you could have had a newer and better model. The group of men reported that computers should be refered to as " SHE" because: 1. No one but the creator understands their logic. 2. The native language they use to talk to other computers is incomprehensible to anyone 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.

If IBM made toasters…

If IBM made toasters…They would want one big toaster where people bring bread to besubmitted for overnight toasting. IBM would claim a worldwidemarket for five, maybe six toasters.

Abraham wants to upgrade his PC to Windows 95…

Abraham wants to upgrade his PC to Windows 95. Isaac is incredulous. 'Pop, 'he says, 'you can't run Windows 95 on yourold, slow 386. Everyone knows that you need at least a fast 486 with aminimum of 16 megs of memory in order to multitask effectively with Windows 95. 'But Abraham, the man of faith, gazed calmly at his son and replied, 'Godwill provide the RAM, my son'.

If Microsoft made toasters…

If Microsoft made toasters…Every time you bought a loaf of bread, you would have to buya toaster. You wouldn't have to take the toaster, but you'dstill have to pay for it anyway. Toaster'95 would weigh 15000pounds (hence requiring a reinforced steel countertop), drawenough electricity to power a small city, take up 95% of thespace in your kitchen, would claim to be the first toasterthat let's you control how light or dark you want your toastto be, and would secretly interrogate your other appliances tofind out who made them. Everyone would hate Microsoft toasters, but nonetheless would buy them since most of the good breadonly works with their toasters.

If Apple made toasters…

If Apple made toasters…It would do everything the Microsoft toaster does, but 5 yearsearlier. The toast would make a little smiley face at you whenit popped up, or else it would get stuck and there would be alittle picture of a bomb burned onto it. If they break, thesetoasters would require a special set of MacToaster Tools toeven open up. Worldwide market share would only be 5%, but allthe bread in school lunches would be exclusively toasted onthe MacToaster.

From Boyfriend to Husband upgrade

Dear Tech Support: Last year I upgraded from Boyfriend 5. 0 to Husband 1. 0 and noticed that thenew program began making unexpected changes to the accounting modules, limiting access to flower and jewelry applications that had operatedflawlessly under Boyfriend 5. 0. In addition, Husband 1. 0 uninstalled manyother valuable programs, such as Romance 9. 9 but installed undesirableprograms such as NFL 5. 0 and NBA 3. 0. Conversation 8. 0 no longer runs andHouseCleaning 2. 6 simply crashes the system. I've tried running Nagging 5. 3to fix these problems, but to no avail. – – Desperate* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Dear Desperate, Keep in mind, Boyfriend 5. 0 is an entertainment package, while Husband 1. 0is an operating system. Try to enter the command: " C: / I THOUGHT YOU LOVEDME" and install Tears 6. 2. Husband 1. 0 should then automatically run theapplications: Guilty 3. 0 and Flowers 7. 0. But remember, overuse can causeHusband 1. 0 to default to GrumpySilence 2. 5, HappyHour 7. 0 or Beer 6. 1. Beer 6. 1 is a very bad program that will create " Snoring Loudly" wavefiles. DO NOT install MotherInLaw 1. 0 or reinstall another Boyfriend program. These are...

Thank you for the emails

THANK YOUThank you to all my friends who sent me such important emails this year! It's so wonderful that you included me in your quest to inform! Because of all of you I stopped drinking Coca- Cola after I found outfrom you that it's good for removing toilet stains and rusting thearse out of 40- gallon drum. I stopped going to the movies for fear of sitting on a needle infectedwith a disease. I smell like a homeless f* @ k, but thank goodness I stopped usingdeodorant because you said it causes cancer. I don't leave my car in any parking lot even though I sometimes haveto walk about seventeen blocks, because you said that someone mightdrug me with a perfume sample and then try to rob me. I also stopped answering the phone because you said that they will askme to dial a stupid number and then I get a high phone bill withcalls to Uganda, Singapore, Tokyo and maybe the Mars Rover. I stopped eating chicken and hamburgers because you told me they arenothing more than horrible mutant freaks with no eyes or feathers thatare bred in a lab so that places like McDonalds and KFC can sell theirwares. I also stopped drinking anything out of a can – you said that I wouldget sick from the rat faeces and urine. When I go to parties, I now don't mix with anybody...

If Wang made toasters…

If Wang made toasters…Marketing would never agree upon what customers really wantor need in a toaster so millions of dollars would be spentin development and the toaster would be several years late. Just after release Wang would buy another company whosetoaster ran on NT but would find that they got more ordersfor the original.

Finally, a worthy pyramid scheme!

Finally, a worthy pyramid scheme! Simply send this e- mail to 9 of your mates…INSTRUCTIONSAnaesthetise your wife/girlfriend, put her in a large carton, (don't forgetsome ventilation holes), and send it to the person who is at the top ofyour list. Soon, your name will be at the top of the list, and you will receive 823, 542 women through the post. Statistically, among those women, there will be at least: * 0. 5 Miss Worlds, * 2. 5 supermodels, * 463 wild nymphos, * 3, 234 good- looking nymphos, * 20, 198 who enjoy multiple orgasms, * and 40, 198 bi- sexual women. In total, that is 64, 294 women who are simply hornier, less inhibited, andtastier than the miserable old cow you posted off. And, best of all, youroriginal package is guaranteed not to be one of those that come back to you. DO NOT BREAK THIS CHAIN LETTER!!! One bloke for example who sent the letter to only 5 instead of 9 of hisfriends got his original bird back, still in the old dressing gown he senther off in, with the same old migraine attack, and the accusatorialexpression on her face. On the same day, the international supermodel he'd been living with sincehe sent off his old girlfriend moved out to live with his best friend (towhom he had not sent the chain letter). While I am sending this letter, the bloke...

Chain Letter Type III

Chain Letter Type IIIHi there!! This chain letter has been in existence since 1897. This isabsolutely incredible because there was no email then and probably not asmany little 8 year olds writing chain letters. So this is how it works. Passthis on to 15, 067 people in the next 7 minutes or something horrible willhappen to you like: Queer Horror Story # 1Miranda Pinsley was walking home from school on Saturday. She had recentlyreceived this letter and ignored it. She then tripped in a crack in theside walk, fell into the sewer, was gushed down a drainpipe in a flood ofpoop, and went flying out over a waterfall. Not only did she smell nasty, she died. This Could Happen To You!!! Queer Horror Story # 2Dexter Bip, a 13 year old boy, got a chain letter in his mail and ignored it. Later that day, he was hit by a car and so was his boyfriend (hey, somepeople swing that way, especially at Oklahoma City University). They bothdied and went to hell. They continued to suffer in hell where they were bothcursed to eat adorable kittens every day for eternity. This Could Happen ToYou!!! Remember, you could end up like Pinsley and Bip did.

Chain Letter Type IV

Chain Letter Type IVAs if you care, here is a poem that I wrote. Send it to every one of yourfriends. Friends- A friend is someone who is always at your side, – A friend is someone who likes you even though you smell like a wet dog, – A friend is someone who likes you even though you're disgustingly ugly, – A friend is someone who cleans up for you after you've soiled yourself, – A friend is someone who stays with you all night while you cry about your loser life, – A friend is someone who pretends they like you when they really think you should be raped by a mad goat and then thrown to vicious dogs, – Afriend is someone who scrubs your toilet and vacuums and then gets the check and leaves and doesn't speak much English no, sorry that's the cleaning lady, Now pass this on!

Remember, the moral of the story is, if you get a chain letter,...

The Y-Zero-K Problem

The Y- Zero- K Problem Translated from a recently discovered Latin scroll dated 2BC Dear Cassius: Are you still working on the Y zero K problem? This change from BC to AD is giving us many headaches; there is not much time left. I don't know how citizens will cope with working the wrong way around. Having been working happily downwards forever, now we have to start thinking upwards. You would think that someone would have thought of this earlier and not left it to us to sort it out at the last minute. I spoke to Caesar the other evening. He was livid that Julius hadn't done something about it when he was working out the calendar. He said he could see why Brutus turned nasty. We called in Consultus, but he simply said that continuing downwards using minus BC won't work and as usual charged a fortune for doing nothing useful. Surely, we will not have to throw out all our hardware and start again? Macrohard will make yet another fortune out of this, I suppose. The money lenders are paranoid of course! They have been told that all usury rates will invert, and they will have to pay their clients to take out loans. It is an ill wind…. As for myself, I just cannot see how the sand in an hourglass will flow upwards. We have heard that there are...

Diary of an AOL User

Diary of an AOL User July 18 – I just tried to connect to America Online. I've heard it is thebest online service I can get. They even included a free disk!

And why do they put two telephone jack holes in the back of amodem when you only need one? And why do they have one labeled phone...

A helicopter was flying around above Seattle…

A helicopter was flying around above Seattle yesterday when an electricalmalfunction disabled all of aircraft's electronic navigation and communicationequipment. Due to the clouds and haze the pilot could not determine hisposition or course to steer to the airport. The pilot saw a tall building, flew toward it, circled, drew a handwrittedsign and held it in the helicopter's window. The sign said " WHERE AM I"? in large letters. People in the tall building quickly responded to the aircraft, drew a largesign an held it in a building window. The sign said, " YOU ARE IN AHELICOPTER". The pilot smiled, waved, looked at his map and determined the course to steerto SEATAC ( Seattle/Tacoma) airport and landed safely. After they were on the ground, the co- pilot asked the pilot how the " YOU AREIN A HELICOPTER" sign helped determine their position. The pilot responded, " I knew that had to be the Microsoft building because they gave me atechnically correct but completely useless answer".

If Only Life Could Be Like A Computer

If you messed up your life, you could press " Ctrl, Alt, Delete" and start all over! To get your daily exercise, just click on " run"! If you needed a break from life, click on suspend. Hit " any key" to continue life when ready. To get even with the neighbors, turn up the sound blaster. To add/remove someone in your life, click settings and control panel. To improve your appearance, just adjust the display settings. If life gets too noisy, turn off the speakers. When you loose your car keys, click on find. " Help" with the chores is just a click away. Auto insurance wouldn't be necessary. You would use your diskette to recover from a crash. And, we could click on " SEND NOW" and a Pizza would be on it's way to you.

Less-Known Computer Languages

Less- Known Computer Languages Basic- Fortran- Cobol… Theseprogramming languages are wellknown and (more or less) wellloved throughout the computerindustry. There are numerous otherlanguages however that are lesswell known yet still have ardentdevotees. In fact these little- known languages generallyhave the most fanatic admirers. For those who wish to know moreabout these obscure languages – and why they are obscure – Ipresent the following catalog. SIMPLE… SIMPLE is an acronymfor Sheer Idiot's Mono PurposeProgramming LingusiticEnvironment. This language developed at theHanover College for TechnologicalMisfits was designed to make itimpossible to write code witherrors in it. The statements aretherefore confined to BEGIN- END- and STOP. No matter how youarrange the statements you can'tmake a syntax error. Programs written in SIMPLE donothing useful. Thus they achievethe results of programs writtenin other languages without thetedious frustrating process oftesting and debugging. SLOBOL… SLOBOL is best knownfor the speed or lack of it ofits compiler. Although manycompilers allow you to take acoffee break while they compileSLOBOL compilers allow you to takea trip to Bolivia to pick up thecoffee. Forty- three programmersare known to have died of boredomsitting at their terminals whilewaiting for a SLOBOL program tocompile.

Colombian computer joke

Why did a group of Columbians run away from a computer lab. Because the computer said you have performed an illegal operation and will be shutdown.
