Re: Gender (was Age) of CDP'ers

I know I'm going to offend a couple Correctus Politicos, but I've
always explained the gender disparity by referrence to Early Life
Skillsets. My brother & I played with electric trains (troubleshooting
& debugging). In highschool I had two years of auto mechanics and two
years of electronics lab. It was only natural that in college I was a
Math - General Science double major.

Then as recreation, I hung around the computer center and instead of
finishing Grad School in Math -- I met *** Pick in Irvine and the rest
is history (30 yrs in MV).

So what I'm saying is that for a girl to get into computers in those
days you had to be very motivated and willing to be different from your
female peers (hangin' out with the guys--'nerds' they used to be
called). Unfortunately this problem (missing alot of smart women)
happens in Science & Math in general although maybe not as much as in
IT?
