“The [Principal Investigator] PI’s long-term goal is to create theory to inform [Human-Computer Interaction] HCI design practices, to ensure the production of egalitarian designs that reflect all users’ values,” a grant for the project states. “In particular, she aims to create feminist theory for HCI, which she hopes will close the gap in women’s participation in computing.”
The project will teach middle and high school girls to “create technologies in keeping with their gender identity.”

Sometimes it's hard to indentify a computer if it's a "she" or a "he"!
I usually wait to see if it listens to my commands, if it doesn't, it's surely a "she"! :p

Step one, sex identification.
Step two, race indentification, we gotta be PC for everyone!
Step three, ID Identification to surf the net.
With patience and lubrification, no matter the size, anything could pass!

Mine is black too. I suppose purple would have been cool or one with faeries and flowers on it, but hey my black one works for me.

Dunno why they are acting like pc modding doesn't exist.
