Boats, cars etc. Many everday objects are related to in a female sense.

So basically, no news here.

On a Windows machine I used at a job I had many years ago, I had a japanese girlie character sitting on the task bar. I’d never thought of OSes like this until today.

Belchingmatt: the cars have all been female. Even Eagle-1.
