They regard technology as a "Man" thing don`t they?

It`s a psychological stumbling block - apparently few women bought satellite systems in the early days because it was a male "techy" thing by reputation, but when ITV digital launched with a female resonant name - "ON" - the skirted ones apparently signed up in droves.
