Neon Software, of Middletown CT has come up with a new sort of approach
to the software market.  Their product is called "Women's Ware"...they sell
all kinds of nifty programs, like "checkbook balancer", "Beauty/Fashion"
and "Home decorator".  It comes in a box suspended from a small coat
hanger.  However, you know there is no sexism involved, since the box
says it "for modern men too!"

So, how about it, netheads?  I find this product apalling -- I think that
Neon Software is a good shakeout candidate.  Does anybody see any possible
justification for this sort of marketing?  Does anybody know what a
"Beauty/Fashion" program even does???

An obviously "non-modern man..."
