Looking for a place to stay in London, I kipped up at a young female work 
colleague's home for a couple weeks during the World Cup. Her TV was so badly 
focussed that one could only see coloured smudges on green instead of the 
games. While she was out, I did exactly the above getting back a very sharp 
picture.

She was overjoyed; the TV had been 'fuzzy' for over two years, and that 
translated into many redeemable brownie points. Okay, not /strictly/ Linux, 
but it does have young women allured by technical prowess in it...
