To put things rather crudely, from listening to other recount
their SOs computer skills and useage patterns, it seems that inexperienced
computer users are more likely to take kindly to using civilized computer
systems.  So, that would be one benefit to non geek GFs.

One slight piece of supporting evidence was the article on Largo FL.  They
said that 30% of their users were windows literate, 30% mac literate, and
the rest completely computer illiterate, and thus didn't have any
preference what so ever for any particular type of computer.

Also, there is the famous Telsa (married to Alan Cox, but she has a
different last name, and I don't remeber it).
