Title: Men only?
Post by: SirClickAlot on Thu, 26 August 2010, 02:42:23

Question :

Is hunting for the holy grail keyboard ( or any other computer interface ) the prerogative of men only?

If that would be true .. Why is that?

Regards.

I wouldn't say *most men* are into keyboards and all that. As quadibloc would say "it's all a plurality, yes indubitably".

So only a few guys/girls are into keyboards. It's a very small minority, regardless of gender (I think anyways).

People who use their hands a lot for delicate things, like art (painting etc), which usually most girls I know do, would probably be interested in a keyboard that suits the fingers nicely.

No, I would say that nerds/geeks/dorks are.  We have had, and continue to have, quite a few women on this forum.  In fact, the member that contributed most of our collective knowledge here and wrote a lot of the Wiki was a woman, Chloe.  She also introduced Sandy55 to the site.

Did she change her mind?

I think she got bored.  We were pretty dumb back then.  I think Sandy knows where she is, though.
