You're kidding right? queer has more than one definition...

I think the author was aiming for definition # 1, 2 , or 3, I doubt
seriously he meant to imply in a disparaging way that his computers were
homosexual...I think such things are commonly referred to as a "figure of
speech"....get a grip...or by grip do you think I mean something other than
a firmer grasp on reality than you currently seem to show? (that's called
sarcasm)
