Web The sexes can't even agree on how to best use the Internet, according to the results of a recent survey by PC Data Online reported by PC World. The survey measured Internet use among 2,812 participants and concluded that women check e-mail more often and log on to seek out specific information more readily. Men are almost twice as likely to use the Web to download or transfer files. Men are also more inclined to seek out sports information, and they check stock quotes at a higher rate than women. Men buy computer items and pornography.
Women buy nice things like greeting cards and music.
