The grammar doesn't seem right to me. Should be "the computer".

Indeed, it should have been: computer uses user :)

But we want grammatically correct sentences, don't we? ;)
Shall I add the missing "the" then?

BTW, what does the joke have to do with Russian grammar?

I think it is, but with proper grammar. The other languages seem to have used the article. Or does the article use them? ;)

Corrected. Now it may stay.
