Well now you're hitting on the social/political issues...girls like math,
science, etc. and do as well as boys until they reach High School. Then it
isn't as cool to be good at math/there's no encouragement/etc-in fact my sis
who is a doc was told by her HS math teacher that she needn't bother to like
math since it didn't help women anyhow!hmmmph

I would guess YES. I think men will always dominate simply because more men
tend to LIKE this field then women. I know many more women that hate
computers,
math, science than men, that I doubt will change. But I do see more in the
field
then 8 years ago when I started out.

Subject: OT: Female Programmers
I'm currently taking my CS degree in college, and most of the people are
are...well..females! I was surprised. Is the number of female programmers
rising? or is mine just a special case? You alla re probably familiar with
the typical cocky and laidback male programmer, but I always wondered what
the female counterpart was like (probably a lot better! hehe). That was why
I would be excited to work with one.
