Maybe there's another book in this: "Men are from Microsoft, Women are
from Unix"?

I've not read the Mars/Venus book, but have seen some pretty convincing

men. Different connections between right and left brain have been
posited as explanations.

Of course, women joke about men's inability to do more than one thing at
once all the time!

Cheers

If you don't care about your data, like file systems which automagically
destroy themselves and have money to burn on 3rd party tools to keep
your
system staggering on, Microsoft (tm) have the Operating System for you.
