Have you ever seen the joke where a teacher asked the students to give 10 reasons why a computer is considered a male or female and the response. I will get it for you.

My laptop is a chick. :D There are many reason, and I should probably keep them to myself. I wouldn't want my jokes to offend any ladies even though I'm one myself. :P

It is female. Like a car, a ship or a star vessel! And if you are really taking care of her and really depend on it, your computer is a beautiful lady, capable of receiving your love. Okay a bit of sarcasm in that, but a lot of things in our lives really do need more credit (and maybe even love) than they are given.

Let me share this with you and you decide =P A language instructor was explaining to her class that French nouns, unlike their english counterparts, are gramatically designated as masculine or feminine. Things like 'chalk' or 'pencil', she described, would have gender association although in English these words are neutral. Puzzled, one student raised his hand and asked, "What gender is a computer?" The teacher wasn't certain which it was, and so divided the class into 2 groups and asked them to decide if a computer should be masculine or feminine. One group was comprised of women in the class, and the other, of men. Both groups were asked to give four reasons for their recommendation. The group of men concluded that the computer should be referred in the feminine gender because: 1.) No one but their creator understands their internal logic. 2.)The native language they use to communicate w/ 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. The women on the other hand, decided that computers should definitely be masculine 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 your problems, but half the time they ARE the problem. 4.) As soon as you commit to one, you realize that, if you'd waited a lil' longer, you could've gotten a better model. =P So there you go! Should be male in my opinion XD
