If a woman can program a >computer, "she" is a male to female crossdresser or a shemale. The most respected denizen of comp.lang.java.* is Patricia Shanahan. You are aware that Grace Hopper invented COBOL. Carly Fiorina was CEO of HP. I do find it peculiar that the industry is so male-dominated. It does not require any great physical strength. I it an ideal telecommute job for someone also looking after kids. Perhaps it is just it has a geeky mystique that puts young females off. I recall the extreme difficultly young women had in the all-male engineering classes at UBC. The males ragged them outrageously, much the way you would expect of 10 year old boys with an "no gurlz allowed" fort. -- Roedy Green Canadian Mind Products The Java Glossary http://mindprod.com
