  1. Women were trying to get into computers during the early 80's .. I was there. In fact, we were better programmers than the boys at our school and would hack their computers.

    But during the 90's, if you were a woman trying to get a programmer/developer job, you were placed as a Program Asst. basically a glorified secretary.

    I'm looking at you Microsoft.

    It was tough to watch. 🙄
