As you noted, I am not unique. So why is it that SA gaming/technology magazines are still overwhelmingly "boys only" zones? I've tried several and there is a depressing lack of female voices and perspectives - one notable exception being Popular Mechanics. Women generally only get a look-in if they are (a) game characters or (b) posing on the cover or in an ad, preferably wearing as little as possible. (PC Format...I'm looking at you!) It would be great to read reviews, opinions and thoughts by women and for women. Hi Rudolph
