Default Motherboards are sexist.

If they were called fatherboards they would be banned.
Whay not call them parent or guardian boards?

I believe that if it would be called a fatherboard, it would mean a perfect
product with no bios updates required. :-Þ

If they were called fatherboards you'd have comedians doing a Bob
Newhart routine.

Client: "I - uh - I can't seem to find my fatherboard again !

Repair Guy: "It'd probably gone away again. We'll do a paternity test
on it in the meantime."

Although they may give you a sign they rarely prognosticate what one should
do next.
