Rick, An excellent observation about the French Minitel system. Certainly as meny women as men use it becase there is no other way to get telephone directory assistance! Thinking back, that's how I taught my first wife to drive a stick shift - I drove the car with the automatic to work. That left her with two choices, learn to shift or starve. Perhaps we should reward computer usage with food. OK, perhaps that is stretching it a bit but your idea of switching the orientation from computers to tasks or services is the right approach. Jim P.S. - Gee, applications before technology, what a unique approach; that's something I've been telling clients here at work for years...
