I think that the media is just finally realizing that a lot of women "over 35" know their way around a computer just as well as they know when the early bird special starts, and that is throwing them for a loop because it is eroding all their preconceptions about computer literacy in women outside the key marketing demographic.
Hell, I was in the first computer class my high school ever offered; we had to physically phone in to a mainframe at a college in Massachusetts - phone cradle, teletype and all - because no local colleges, or high schools for that matter, had one. Forget about Apples; those were still a gleam in Jobs' eye.
I think we were part of the DTSS, and did our programming in Basic.
