I've told you this on numerous occasions before, and this is a perfect oppurtunity to say it again

I of course don't know why she'd say that. Obviously, if she indeed didn't know how to run the thing, she wouldn't be doing it.
If it helps, I'm a guy, and I don't know how to use PowerPoint either.
More to the point, though, we do still have residual gender roles, and whether they're right or wrong doesn't eliminate them from our society.
However, I think you're right; it seems that women do this more often. Maybe it's that they're less egotistic than most guys.  ;-)

You're a "heathen" too? *pssst*: welcome to the club!  ;-)

if it makes you feel any better none of my uncles seem capable of setting up an account on yahoo let alone turning on a computer. They're still living in the 70's, apparently. ;] Pretty eggs, by the way.
