A watercolour illustration of a teenage boy reading from a binder, with a pencil in his right hand, seated in front of an Atari 800 computer. A clean-shaven adult male stands to his right, bending over, with his right arm on the boy's right shoulder and his left leg up on the seat of a chair (invisible to us) in a classic male power pose. A full cup of coffee is positioned on the table in front of him. The man is looking at the computer screen. There are leafy indoor plants on either side of the boy and the man, but no other people in view.

But why, oh why, did the marketing folks behind these mass-market machines have to gender the branding so heavily? Look who's at the keyboard in these photos, who's guiding, who's entirely a passive observer and who's entirely absent.
