Mary in Kentucky Tech: Firefox browser questions (58* d) RE: BS: Firefox browser questions 09 Apr 05


(Bill, I never thought you were. I was just generalizing about Zen... in general. I really liked that book and saw myself somewhere between the extremes. Having lived most of my life around mechanical purists, I could really appreciate the descriptions of maintaining an optimum machine!)

I did notice when taking a lab in instrumental analysis (later I had to teach the lab which was a joke) that there was a predictable difference in how a male and a female approached various instruments. Think TV set here for example. The guys would first of all turn every dial to all the extremes to see what happened. I would gingerly turn a dial just a little bit, observe what happened, and then restore it to the beginning setting for fear I had messed it up.

(I know, I know, this is stereotyping, but I could give more examples. It got real funny when males from certain cultures had to ask a female for help!)
