...shelves. "Frankly what happened is we got a little sloppy in [fashion] investments," says Drexler. "We're a fashion and basics business. We can't do what we do without fashion. The Gap point of view is that if we don't change the style, the business will get stale." You'll see the change in the form of hot pink suede shirts, leather boot-cut jeans and the edgier 1969 collection denims--a higher style and costlier ($78) fashion jean with details like yin-yang designs...

This stuff about never having worked on a computer and wanting little to do with technology stocks is stale. Very stale. You've got good company in Warren Buffett, another totemic technophobe. And I'm not saying to load up exclusively on tech stocks. But it's plain silly to encourage plain folks to avoid them. They're not that difficult to understand. If you can figure out Maytag...
