Female members at SysOpt !?
I'll try to make this as politically correct as possible.
Im a second year Electrcial Engineering student at a highly rated school in Manhattan. There are FOUR (4) girls in my major, and they are only there because everyone who gets admitted to the school gets a full tuition scholarship and they don't even really like what they're learning.
I have never in my short life have even heard of a girl that has seen the inside of a computer. I'm not even going to mention fooling with hardware or building a PC.
So, sare there actually techie girls out there? And how do you (the girls, women, whatever) come around to become techies?
With guys its simple: we want everything faster, better, meaner, louder and most of all better than every1 else's.
But how do girls end up getting into optimizing computers?

i don't think you'll be able to relate to my experience, but here goes...
political correctness aside, i was dancing in a club when a bunch of old hippies came in from out of town, and though they had all been computer nerds since the sixties, they looked perfectly normal.
i was 15-20 years younger than them, but moved in with them to learn computers. they needed lots more sleep than i, so they started giving me old computers to repair (instead of playing music) while they slept.
you could say, that i learned computers by doing computers.... i don't make near as much money as i did dancing, but my mind gets to keep in shape....
