She was (and still is) an avid Mac woman. She definately got me interested in computers.

But, I never had a computer teacher who wasn’t a woman… I never questioned it.

In fact, my high school is a vocational school, and I’m in the computer technology shop. One of the two teachers is a woman, and she is extremely knowledgeable.

I got accepted into college, and the person who supervises the technology department is also a woman.

I never really thought anything about that, I just noticed that. It may be an uncommon thing, I guess. But, I have a few women to thank for getting me interested in technology.
