- Not exactly sweet-talk, but try this one. Remember to look straight into her
- face all the while without hesitating, twitching or grinning inanely:
-
- "Look honey, this thing can keep our address databases and my recipes, it can
- plan our optimal travel routes, give us mail and Web connections, send and
- receive faxes, spell-check and print our letters and remember our
- appointments.
- You say you need various household appliances? Household appliances don't
- come any more various than this!"
-
- Good luck.
