Ever since I started setting up/selling computers to the public, I've found that you have to entice the customer specifically by gender. Not a joke, no humour about it. It's a reality. To fire up interest in a man, show them "shoot'em up" games, racing games, sometimes technical stuff, and definitely pr0n. To fire up interest in a woman, show them chat facilities, something to write on (a word processor), email and card games - specifically solitaire type games. Unless someone has a purely technical bend, or specifically want to purchase a computer for a particular reason, those two strategies are what catches each gender. BTW, back in 1992 I taught a class for teachers - about computers and using computers. I started the first week of the class by making people play Solitaire, Minesweeper and "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy". Nothing technical. Just how to use the mouse and the keyboard, open the application, close the application. No big words, no technical jargon. I had quite a bit more success with my class than did three other teachers - my class scored the highest, and became fairly knowledgeable and proficient on using computers. I didn't tell the other three teachers my secret. -- Sat Jul 5 11:05:00 EST 2003 11:05:00 up 3 days, 25 min, 2 users, load average: 0.51, 0.37, 0.37 ----------------------------------------------------------------- | __ __ |kuhn media australia | | /-oo /| |'-. |http://kma.0catch.com | | .\__/ || | | |================================| | _ / `._ \|_|_.-' |stephen kuhn | | | / \__.`=._) (_ | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | ----------------------------------------------------------------- linux user #:267497 linux machine #:194239 * MDK 9.1 & RH 7.3 Mandrake Linux Kernel 2.4.21-11mdk Cooker for i586 ----------------------------------------------------------------- * This message was composed on a 100% Microsoft free computer * There is no TRUTH.
