	In the opposite vein, I think that women (myself included) find a
relationship with another computer type to be easier because he or she is
going to be alot more understanding when you spend an entire sunny Saturday
debugging code or get called up in the middle of the night because something
you wrote just broke and they don't get put out when you are talking to the
terminal instead of to them. (This might reflect an expection that men's work
is important enough to be an interruption but that women's work gets in the
way of attention that should be paid to a male SO)
