I'm borrowing the title and part of today's post from a friend of a friend. (I could explain all the links and connections as well as how I came to possess this text, but that might take a while.) Anyway, this all relates to an ongoing office discussion on the very different natures of men and women....
"So the difference between a male and a female is like the difference between an abacus and a modern computer. The abacus gets the job done, just fine. It's simple and effective. It never breaks down, and if it did, a moron could fix it. A modern computer can multi-task infinitely, but it breaks down all the time, and it takes a trained specialist to even take it apart. The greater the complexity, the more inherently unstable the system."
One thing I'd like to add to this evaluation: even though highly complex systems can frequently be fixed only by professionals (or sometimes these systems are fixed by simply restarting them) men still nearly always insist on dissecting these systems and taking them apart, determined that they can solve the problems....
