Nothing that you're not reading into it. I was going to type "the average guy" but then I said, "Hey greg, don't be so sexist. Why not make a strike AGAINST sex-typing in the 'puter workplace and substitute the female equivalent of 'guy' in there? As if it were as natural to talk of 'her' computer and software choices as it is to talk of 'his' computer and software choices." So I did. Plus, it's statistically safer to assume that women will be using the computer (although, unfortunately, not culturally safer). Women are the majority you know. -- Gregory R.
