Quote of the Day, and then some

| | Comments (0)
"Listen up. I am a mother and I  have root. Stop stereotyping my kind as technologically ineffectual or I will RF-RM all your data."

--Peoples Software co-founder Lisa Williams, remarking on how so many fellas in Boulder drop the phrase into their demos "well, we don't expect our mother to be able to use it."

Lisa also sez: " If you are trying to create an online service or software product and you think this way, you will lose a ton of money. Consider this: the average age of a mother with preschool age children in the us is 27. Do you really think a 27 year old doesn't know what the Internet is?"

Susan sez: This woman is wicked smart, eh?
