hmm not sexually stimulating? I hate to say this but I wonder what you find
sexually stimulating?  I find both covers stating a sexual and provocative
interest in computers... I think that the woman who does the cover is 
exploiting her own sex.  If the woman was dressed in what we consider normal
work clothes I might think otherwise but the dress she is wearing on the
cover of the may 1990 issue is tight fitting and shoulderless. Something
I am sure that if I came to work in I probably would be highly harrassed
and get little done in.  Oh and I almost forgot the heels.... I have heard
several renditions on heels, what are mens honest opinion on them?  Beleive
me I know the answer to that and it usually is not clean when they are that
high!

>Ummm.. excuse me, but how else do you use a stamp if you don't lick it?

As far as the issue with the woman licking the stamp that is a different 
issue. Anyone can lick a stamp but no one holds a stamp that way and
no woman wearing that much lipstick ever licks a stamp.

This is just my opinion of course and I am a woman.  I don't agree with
seeing a woman exploited on a computer magazine.  Other magazines that sell
fashion, clothing and are informational to womanly topics are in a different
category all together. I also don't agree with using woman to sell cars and
other things but of course it is up to those woman to do what they want and
it is up to those company's to sell there product anyway they want within
the law.
