Never heard of it actually. Had to google it to figure out what it was. I'm into Orson Scott Card and Timothy Zahn. That's right Ender and Star Wars continuations. No copies of Gor.

However to quote myself "In my experience." Doesn't mean it didn't happen. Just mean I never saw it personally. And to clarify I wasn't at a fancy big box store, I worked in out of those ma and pa outfits that sold custom builds as well as used computers. Again the misconception that I am stating anything about all women. Nor is Dell stating that their site is for all women. It's just a site intended for women that are interested in the sorts of things they are offering. I really didn't get that MSN author's point that Dell was treating women like it's the 1950's.

You're experience seems to come from retail. Well of course the people who buy a computer from a retail store don't care about the technical details. If you do care and know what you're doing you special order it or build it yourself. And as far as women not caring about the technical specification of their computers, you are sorely mistaken there. I custom ordered my laptop with all of the technical aspects I wanted (didn't build it but I am looking to scrounge up some parts to build a desktop to use as a server, thank you very much). And my laptop is not cute and flowery. I wanted something tough and durable with a lot of processing power. So I now happily own a Lenovo T61 Thinkpad running Ubuntu. If you've ever seen one they look like a giant black brick, hardly the latest in fashion. And as far as Newegg, they have some interesting stuff, but SparkFun is more my thing. I'm going to go back to coding and working on my circuits now. Okay so I will admit there are a lot of clueless people out there buying computers, of BOTH genders.

I blog in my own basement babe... And as I said if you care to read is that Dell makes fine products, just nothing that suits my specific tastes. If my wife is thinking of being a Netbook anyways why should she be forced to buy the only model availible retail that is white and dull when she can have the luxary of choosing her own style and design? Go back to reading MSN. Oh and I probably should've specified. I would never be caught dead buying one because I don't buy retail computers new period. I can build them much more affordabley. I certainly don't have a problem with people who do buy them retail, it's a personal preference, but I can see how my comment came off more negatively. Sorry for that. You owe me $10.
