Just as beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so is sexism. When that ad
came out (in fact it was the catalog I saw first), I interpreted it as a
friendly gesture meant to take away some of the negative publicity mail
order houses have. These are real people you're talking to not some deep
dark mafia type that will take your money and not deliver.

What I did notice in the most recent ads is an emphasis on hardware and
accessories in MacWarehouse without any of the emerging software listed.
MacConnection, however, had Adobe Type Manager prominently displayed and
After Dark (screen saver) in their ad. They got my first order yesterday.
However, they couldn't provide ATM today and asked if it would be OK to
wait another day and send both at the same time. 

I said OK, because it is more efficient, but in similar circumstances,
MacWarehouse never asked. They just sent things out as they had them, at
their expense.
