Come to think of it, why aren't they pink? I wonder how many of those ‘macho’ guys can use a washing machine.

Yes the pink thing is just so irritating; it smacks of a bunch of marketing guys sitting in a room saying 'we need to target women. i know, lets do a pink version. that will keep them happy.' Clearly, there is a market for pink. Young girls love it but there's a group of women who would never dream of owning a pink laptop. I am one of them! Totally agree Kharina.

The equivalent for men would be walking into Agent Provocateur buying their lady friend something saucy only to realise they have no idea what bra size she's got. Personally, being a total geek I don't have such issues. What I find irritating is when men assume you don't know anything, eg. "You are female so you text a lot and like pink phones".... sheesh! Carphone Warehouse isn't that bad. You can always dismiss them and they will leave you alone, unlike the vultures at Phones4U, those guys have psychological issues.

Although I have to admit, as a pretty tech-savvy girl, I don't like asking for help (I was obviously male in a previous life)... But upon the arrival of my new Blackberry yesterday, I had to admit defeat and ask for help. Which made me feel like a stupid girly-girl! Personally I think it's technology that should sort it out! Women shouldn't have to embrace technology... technology should embrace US and become more user-friendly (a la iPod). I love the concept behind Geek Squad!
