Comment

Probably they are too smart, or at least they have the social eptitude lacking in IT geeks. The only reason many guys are in IT is to show how clever they are to people with lives.

The reason Macs were not successful is they looked after themselves and were intuitive to use, so techies hated them as they were taking away the only way they could earn a living and get their own back on the rest of us.

I have been using computers since ACE, writing binary and assembler. I thought one day it would become accessible to normal people, but clearly that was stupid, IT people don't want that as they will lose their power. A Registry is revered token of power to them..

They still manage to write GUI software which appears to be written by mechanistic deterministic uni dimensional beings from the planet Anal.

Maybe one day Bender style geeks will rule the world.

I only use IT now because I have to.

You're better off out of it, ladies.

Leave it to the sad macho machine people.

IMO :-)
