I'm wondering if it's a language issue or personal.  :-)  It seems the
English-speakers here disagree with computers being human.  What about
other non-English-speakers, especially French-speakers or others whose
native language is 2-gender masculine/feminine?

Tho, all those other things are based on computing, just 1's and 0's,
even tho it seems otherwise.  :-)

They requested a name for your *computer*?  Is this a new thing, because
I don't remember anything like that when I got my current computer, back
in '98.  The icon on my desktop I just left at the default "My Computer"
:-)
