I was about to comment on the sexism in this thread, but I realised Digit itself gets sexist often...In fact, the whole computer universe is. Mankind sucks.

BTW, while reading the preview of the Nintendo WiiMote thing (in TIME or Newsweek), I found that one of the points of focus of the gaming industry was making games that would appeal to women...Then, in the following issue, a girl responded by saying that she was an avid gamer, but was turned off by many games because they were so sexist and objectified women (Lara Croft, anyone?). She wrote that what the gaming world can do to get more women to play is to treat them with respect.

Any thoughts?
