[BBC]Girls 'more skilled at IT'

Boring month. Not many interesting news around. So, here's an obligatory dump.txt

Survey results show that more than boys have created MSWord docs, have a page on networking websites or uploaded a YouTube video....
....more acceptable for girls to be geeks....
meh, you don't even get a bit of geek cred if you haven't taken a philips screwdriver and pried open the cpu casing.

....Boys = Games, Girls = more involved....
I personally feel that playing PC games would get you more computer savvy than just browsing profiles on Friendster. For example, you're bound to come across more problems/jinxes while trying to get a (usually pirated) game to run compared to pointing, clicking and typing comments. BSODs, driver/hardware problems, getting around DRM, you know the drill.
