Amy, And as a group, they also need to drastically improve their consumer marketing to women. I wouldn't be caught dead on a pink rug at a show. Good grief. While pink is perfectly okay for logos (I like it in logos), it's really bad for rugs at a show because it's like asking women to walk on a sign that says, "stupid goes here." Sleek white, sleek silver, sleek gold, sleek purple, midnight blue. iPod colors. Any of these colors are for women in a very cool & intelligent metallic fashion. Every year the color gods print the colors of the year (you pay $5k to get this - this is why your bathroom towels match those kitchen towels down to the shade of the color - every consumer corp has bought the color shades of the year.) You just pick from it. If the marketing people at these companies are doing their best to make money for themselves and shareholders, surely you have to see that there are a significant number of women "falling for" pink. Just because this is insulting to you, this does not mean it is insulting to all women out there. No offense, but I doubt that you know more than the collective knowledge of all the people at all of the marketing companies. Not saying that I agree with them, just that one person's opinion does not make everyone else wrong. Brian
