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. >> Hi Nancy, What a funny list! I think I'll have to concede that computers ARE male after all. Keep bringing laughs to the list. We all need it. Mary
