> I appreciate the historical tradition of using the photo of beautiful young Lena Söderberg as a test image, but it's time to move on. It's fun for us hetero males, but like it or not, this sends a message to young women that they aren't welcome in this field.
I find your comment a bit strange. I am an heterosexual male and I find this picture utterly uninteresting from a sexual point of view. To me, the appeal of using this pictures is sheer seventies nostalgia... I'm too young to have been alive in 1973 but I'm old enough to remember gawking in awe at the wall of the computer room adorned with output from the first desktop color printer I ever heard of or the first laser printer I ever saw. The example picture used was Lena. The picture reminds me of old computer rooms... I don't even know who the model is and I don't even find her pretty.
By all means use a better picture... But when a Hello World moment is required on a printer, this one is a very strong contender.
