Peter is absolutely right in describing my affection for my Acer. Perhaps this might be a smart thing to think about when marketing it. Perhaps it might be a good idea to ensure that the manufacturers continue to design them with these form factors. Unfortunately, that’s probably also going to mean “fashion covers” like they have for cell phones.
What’s really sad about the fashion cover link is that I just out of curiosity googled “barbie cell phone cover” and found that instantly!
Thanks to the recent flurry (let’s keep it up!!!!) of discussion on women in tech, Robert Scoble says he decided to interview Sara Ford, a tester on the VS.NET team on her thoughts. In her Channel9 interview, Sara talks about her attraction at a very young age, to a puzzle game on a TI-99, her constant draw to things I.T. as she grew up, her struggles to get access to it and also her theory of what attracts girls to computers – storyline. It’s a short interview, but says a lot. Check it out. It is one of many of her Channel9 interviews. In her blog, Sara says 5 of the 8 have been posted. I think this one makes 6 though. Thanks Robert and Sara!
