Comments from other women online, I agree -
1.What a ridiculous and insulting marketing campaign. I hope the firm and people responsible are fired for this disaster. I'm confident they're all men... or women with some serious self-image issues.
2.I found this extremely helpful...I've decided to buy a Mac.3.While I am not against having a "cute" computer, color and size do not provide adequate specification. Not only can women handle having full specification of the memory size and processor speed of a computer, but (gasp!) they may even shop for a computer based on its performance.

A "Mac" Elaine? Sounds like an awfully 'masculine' pc.

In the early days of the computer, let's say 20 years ago, the Mac (Macintosh) computer was the thing to buy. They were easier to operate. Then came Windows. This became easier and better. So, the PC became the top. All the names since then are just spinoffs of the PC. There is a store on Military Trail called Computers for Rent; he will build you a PC-style computer to your specifications for as cheap as $350. I have been using him for more than 15 years.
