I suppose, men are a bit more 'outgoing' than women, WOM. I'm a woman who loves tools (literal tools...like screwdrivers and power saws and nobody touches my needle nose pliers unless they are prepared to lose a limb) but my sister was the tomboy of the family and I was the 'prissy' one... Now I'm still soft but I have strengths that I am proud of.
I think if I as a woman can encourage more women to come here it would be a boon to WC.
WOM, you said your wife liked Orion's view...well...there's a small story behind it...
You see...you're looking through the window of an ancient abandoned ship...and it's a look through an ancient window through 'current' times in a universe where the planets have begun to align...and the force of gravity is sucking everything inwards...
Women generally gab more than men so talking on the messageboard should be natural.(Hope that doesn't sound sexes) I would think that there are more housewives that house husbands, so they would have more time to skin than men(skin covers all the catagories, not just blinds).
Truthfully...I don't think girls/women are as much into tech stuff as men. I and my daughter are the rare exceptions to the rule...we are both computer geeks.
Hadn't thought of that, maybe it's because we have 2 computers. A his and hers. Wife is not a computer geek, but loves them. You can't get her off once she's on it. Plus most of the women I know have computers and use them.
