No kidding! My wife Debbie created our computer store/repair shop, but she ultimately quit because of the disrespect she received from customers. She has ten years experience with telecommunications gear, and Wintel boxes are not much of a challenge for her. Real conversation: Woman enters the store carrying a PC. Woman: "I need help with my computer. Can he help me?" (Points to me, busy swapping out a hard drive.) Debbie: Well, *he's* busy right now. How may I help you? Woman: I need help with my computer. When will he be available? Debbie: I don't know, but *I* can help you right now. Woman: You don't understand, my computer is broken and I need it fixed. Debbie: I can fix your PC if you will just explain the problem to me. Woman: Don't give me that crap! Women don't know anything about computers! This sort of thing happened almost every day. I don't blame Deb at all for leaving the industry. Of course, we're in Florida, so you have to expect some redneck attitudes, but from a *woman*?? Glen 0/0
