 Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me. |

Whilst it is true that IT is overburdened by testosterone my employer has two very good female developers, one in her 30's and one in her 50's, and also two excellent female QA engineers, plus a whole slew of talented female chemical engineers and administrative staff. Best wishes, Tom CMM2 Welcome Tape, Creaky old text adventures |

Girls don't like playing with complicated things which might be dirty. That was the conclusion voiced by a bunch of guys from NOW - the National Organization for Women - 35 years ago. They found out that Pan Am had 8300 people in the maintenance department and only 118 had a testosterone deficiency. NOW descended on us like a swarm of locusts thinking that they could get good jobs for a few hundred girls. Our HR lawyers told them that we would hire any female with the required FAA/FCC licenses and a related associates degree or military experience. NOW started beating the bushes looking for unemployed girls. In short order 42 showed up at HR of which 23 had the required licenses and education, so we walked them around the hangar acquainting them with the various departments. When they found out that they would have to rotate shifts, (Midnight, Afternoon, Day spells MAD), and that the hangar floors are usually slippery from the thin film of Skydrol hydraulic fluid that seems to be everywhere and destroys shoe soles all but four dropped out. NOW disappeared. They had spent a lot of money trying to attract girls to fill good paying jobs and nobody came. We hired the four girls who weren't dismayed by the conditions. Three of them started dating male technicians and were married within four years. The fourth proved to be a really sharp technician who learned the 747 Sperry autopilot system inside and out, was supervising a crew of 14 technicians after only 4 years with Pan Am and is now a technical manager at Delta in Atlanta. There is an undeniable, discernable and demonstratable difference between men and women. Now that I'm working on my ninth decade here I've concluded that I will never figure out what it is .... but I'm really glad it exists. Paul in NY |

About me: I am 54 years old, live in Denmark My education is electrical engineering and I have been hooked on programming since the 80's. When I was 15 years old I got a HP-41 CV calculator and that sent me off to another dimension. For a long time I was a big fan of Java, but for the last 8 years it has been JavaScript. I have a homepage with my creations: www.handmixer.dk . I have decided to concentrate all my creativity and spare time on the CMM2. I have some other hobbies besides CMM2: painting, cooking, walking and Legos. No pets currently and my kids have left the nest. /H |
