I've no doubt that women were in the minority in
the computer biz in the
1980s (as they remain today). I do take umbrage with Sellam's supposition
that there were no women at all with technical knowledge (or if there were,
they were all apparently ugly) -- this is demonstrably untrue and it seems
an odd point to bring up as a criticism of the show (I mean, it has so many
other flaws that he didn't even see, since he admits to only watching 3
minutes of it...). Were there are lot of women in the industry? No. Does
the show have a woman in it? Yep. Is this particularly unrealistic? Nah.
I imagine that he'd admit that the actual number was non-zero. But to a
first approximation, it was zero.
