What women want from a computer...

[topicolo]

Hey londy, what's your opinion on this? A multicoloured computer marketed at women? It can't be! This is bound to fail because according to you, there wouldn't be a market for this because you, yourself wouldn't like it. This must be the product of another male conspiracy to overgeneralize half the population again, isn't it?

Hmm. I have a fugly Dell (actually, it's not bad looking in a utilitarian kind of way - much prefer this to that evil-alien moulded plastic c^@p) and a Frankenmac - my G3 beige minitower with the side off and half the front off and a drive hanging out of it on a ribbon cable (my main work machine...).

But then I have a Mini sitting on top of it.

Note: I have yet to show a Mini to a female
(yes the Mac computer, dammit, get yer mind out of the gutter)
without them immediately saying "It so cuuuute!" and petting it like a puppy.
The guys however say "Heh, that's small. Wonder how they got it all in there?"

Do men not also consider how something looks before they purchase it? I think they do...

This is terrible to say, but i'd say the looks of this PowerBook had a major major weight in my decision.

It's just like all of my electronics however, my cell phones, headphones, speakers, car stereo(when i had one), they all have to be everything I want.

I built a PC before i went to college and it was fast as he** but it was in the most hideous ugly case in the world, so it really took away from it!

Yep. Doesn't matter how ugly they are, just how fast they are.
