557060 2007-06-07 22:33:00 Hello Kitty sexist gar-bage is seeping outta Japan and it makes a sickening statement that wimmen just aren't " . . . smart enough . . or technical enough" to understand the transient values of macho things .

Evidence at hand ( . siliconvalley . com/latestheadlines/ci_6082889" target="_blank">www . siliconvalley . com): Hello Kitty! as an inducement for gurlz to buy or use a laptop-thingy all by themselves . :rolleyes:

Soooooo . . the marketers make it cute and cuddly, dripping with nesting instinct and estrogen . . . (not in MY world!) . :blush:

" . . . . . . . . PC users now tend to be men, but we're hoping to attract women with this product," said company spokesman Shinya Hashizume . :p

The garish, over-the-top LT Hello Kitty, uses 299 Swarovski crystals to depict four hearts and the bubbly feline head wearing a pink bow and crown . . Oh . . and the case is pink . . but it DOES have (here comes the guy-talk) a Windows Vista operating system, 100 gigabyte hard disk drive and 1 gigabyte memory, and is being advertised as a laptop that's "dazzling and gorgeous like a jewelry box . "

Yep, it's a totally sexist remark .

I have always thought that instruction manuals for home appliances (as opposed to REAL electronics) should be written like a gossip mag- then us guys would get some peace .

Oh dear, another sexist remark :waughh:

But seriously- I know plenty of women who own lap tops, I don't think any of them would agree to owning a pink sparkly one as it's the kiss of death in the corporate world :(

557064 2007-06-08 06:26:00 Oh yes we're all thick and haven't a clue when it comes to hardware and are attracted to pink.

I loathe pink. I hate pink with a passion. Its why we painted the house. Some madman had painted the thing pink. Nauseating.

My PC on the other hand, is black with blue LEDs. A proper colour.

I'd have to charge extra to repair a pink PC.
