Keloland runs an article which tells us that ladies love gadgets, too. In fact, "[w]omen are actually out-spending men in the electronics aisles, accounting for fifty-five-billion dollars' worth of sales last year alone. More women are focusing their purchasing power on electronics."

Ok, to me the statistic says that women today simply buy more presents for their boyfriends and husbands

Alexander, I beg to differ. I'm on my 3rd PDA in two years, and I'm already thinking about my next mobile gadget upgrade. My husband thinks I'm nuts (the guy can't even navigate through my handheld's functions to save his life

).

LOL. I agree. I also have a female friend who knows 10x more about computers than I do!

Why is that? While I myself am Male, I do not see anything wrong or even out of the ordinary with women using, or even loving electronics. Now if they were saying that OLD PEEPS were becoming a major buying force of New fangled electronics, THEN I'd have an issue with their story and statistics.

As an old man I know is wont to call them FRED (Friggin Rediculous Electronic Devices).
