"Some started out in the early '80s when computing was not quite a male-dominated industry" -- Yup. And in the 70's, when I started, while it was not quite a pink-collar ghetto, in a lot of uber-manly man environments (electronics and electrical engineering, geophysics, architecture, mechanical engineering...) programming and particularly systems wrok was considered just the kind of scut work that "maybe Susie can do for us..."<nobr> <wbr></nobr>...because it involved sitting at a keyboard, typing, rather than sitting at a drawing board doing "more technical" work. Tee hee. I sure took THAT ball and ran with it! The jerks. Half of those "manly men" engineers and architects I've worked for are unemployed, unemployable or early-semi-"retarded" today. Hnf. Serves them right.
