What is a computer in Spanish?

[Paulie]

A Spanish teacher was explaining to her class that in Spanish, unlike
> English, nouns are designated as either masculine or feminine.
> ''House,'' for instance, is feminine: ''la casa.''
> However,
> ''Pencil'' is masculine: "el lapiz.''
>
> A student asked, ''What gender is 'computer'?''
>
> Instead of giving the answer, the teacher split the class into two
> groups, male and female, and asked them to decide for themselves whether
> ''computer'' should be a masculine or a feminine noun.
>
> 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 computer''), 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; and
>
> 4. As soon as you make a commitment to one, you find yourself spending
> half your paycheck on accessories for it.
>
> (No chuckling... this gets better!)
>
> The women's group, however, concluded that computers should be Masculine
> (''el computer''), 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; and
>
> 4. As soon as you commit to one, you realize that if you had waited a
> little longer, you could have gotten a better model.
>
> The women won...................(Why am I surprised?)
