Makes me think... there is a UK design/art magazine named Artbyte, their latest-but-one issue (should be July/August) focused on the topic of women and technology, a wider scope than yours but there were tons of interesting things, and much of what was said could probably be applied to women & techno... I'd be interested to read more on this topic BTW, would it be only because I've always wondered why I couldn't get any of my girlfriends to listen to hours of Autechre or Surgeon ? Gwendal
