Each group was asked to give four reasons for its recommendation.The men's group decided that 'computer' should definitely be of the feminine gender ('la computadora'), because: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; and4. As soon as you make a commitment to one, you find yourself spending half your paycheck on accessories for it.(THIS GETS BETTER!)The women's group, however, concluded that computers should be Masculine ('el computador'), because: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; and4.

How can we overcome egoism?a powerful lesson
Narada, the celestial sage, was once so shocked at the ignorance of the Gopikas, that he volunteered to put them through some spiritual lessons. After coming to Brindavan, he noticed that these cowherd girls who were selling milk or curds were calling, "Govinda, Narayana," instead of the wares they were selling; so immersed w...ere they in God-consciousness. They did not know that they had sold off all the milk; they still wandered... on, calling out the names of the Lord. They had no vishayavasana, that is, no wish for sensual objects; and so they had no ajnana (ignorance). Narada concluded that they had no need for his lessons instead he prayed to them to teach him the means of getting that yearning and that vision of the all-pervading Krishna. To conquer egoism, no rigorous system of exercise, breath control or complicated scholarship is necessary! The simple Gopikas, have demonstrated this truth.
