I agree with most of what you've said. However, I've seen several people say that video and photo editing are tasks that they would like to be able to do more efficiently on a Chromebook. I think Google is going to address that problem sooner rather than later with the hiring of Adobe Photoshop Exec John Nack.
I think you're a great role model for women in tech in general as well as opensource. Marissa Mayer from Yahoo may encourage young girls that it can be empowering to use your brains as well as beauty. How did I become an Engineer? I went to an all girl catholic school in the midwest. My High School Math and Science teacher said to all her students who were good in both math and science every day "We need more Women Engineers." It didn't hurt that my Dad was an Engineer and most of my Uncles. My best friend who is a woman is the VP of Engineering at an International Auto Supplier.
