Agreed. Thats just 'regular user' territory...and in the case of myspace, not something to brag about.

My wife is an engineer for Lockheed Martin.

She hates all the little gadgets that I buy and lust for. She likes the LCD tv I got but that was about it...

Alright, I must really not be into shoes (i'm guessing) because I have no idea what manolo blahniks are. I don't have to "turn in my woman card" do I? :eek:

BTW, it is a bad thing that I own more computer accessories than pairs of shoes?

Man, I think I'm the kind of woman they are talking about....d'oh!

Edit: I think they needed either a better sampling or larger testing pool because I definitely don't meet too many other woman that are that into tech.
