Hi, everyone -- decided to de-lurk and defend women over 35 (like me).... I think it depends less on gender and more on how early one is introduced to technology -- Dad brought home a TRS-80 when I was a kid, and I had a lot of fun playing around with it. But I also agree with Ddraig that if one shows how the right tool actually makes life easier, one goes a long way toward convincing others.

Um, topic? I have a Photon III in my PSK and have a CMG Sonic on my keychain -- the latter came in handy during the August blackout, when I had to climb to my 23d floor apartment in a pitch-dark stairwell.
