I wonder whether there's something else going on.  Men are, for some reason, more inclined 
to tinker with gadgets than women, especially older women, and more willing to try to 
understand them.  Witness the phenomenon of men constantly flipping channels with the 
remote, which women don't do.  I remember years ago, visiting an elderly aunt, who at some 
point told me that she couldn't get Channel 7 on her TV.  So I turned on the TV and adjusted 
the fine tuning.  That was all it took, but she didn't think to try it.  Another elderly aunt once 
told me that since some people came in to clean, her TV didn't come on instantly any more.  
I found the instant-on button in the back of the set and pushed it in.
