Computers are not temperamental...they just act that way
Today I wrote "Computers are not temperamental...they just act that way".
Then I read the following in the Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary:
Main Entry: tem·per·a·men·tal
Pronunciation: \ˌtem-p(ə-)rə-ˈmen-təl, ˌtem-pər-ˈ\
Function: adjective
Date: 1646
1: of, relating to, or arising from temperament : constitutional "temperamental peculiarities"
2 a: marked by excessive sensitivity and impulsive mood changes "a temperamental child"
2 b: unpredictable in behavior or performance "a temperamental computer"

Was the example for 2b written in 1646? :)
