The association with 'laptop' is interesting.  My niece, who
works for one of the big five firms of accountants, was recently
issued with a new laptop.  Its pointing device is a little red
button in the middle of the keyboard which you push with your
finger to point the cursor.  'Oh, look', she exclaimed to all and
sundry, 'It's got a clitoris'.  I hear there are now men in the
organisation who can't bring themselves to be seen using the
button - and others growing hairs on the palms of their hands
from using it all day.
