Yep forgot about Allison. And I don't think we need
to read too deeply into some of my controversial
terminology.
Are there any
chicky-poos on this list. I had to
go
back and change *he* to "they" for fear
of
offending
the weaker sex. Wouldn't want to do that.
Well, Allison is a woman, but I'd be scared to call
her a "chicky-poo",
since she definitely does NOT seem weaker. A lot of it is because a significant part of the
motivation for this hobby
is memories of bygone days, and there were very few
women involved with
computers in those days.
Define *involved*? There certainly have been plenty
of chicky-poos working in graphic design and all (real
dudes didn't use Macs, did they? LOL LOL LOL).
Generally they aren't all that inclined to wax
nostalgic over an old puter though.
In my company, people chose their own job titles.
When my VP (self
inflicted title) hired a woman to work in our Comdex
booths, she gave
herself the job title of "bait"
Ahahaha. I like that. I like it loads. LOL LOL LOL
Remember Kiki Stockhammer? Worked for Newtek first I
think, then moved over to the Snappy folks (were they
related in anyway?). I mean what's more *baiting* then
a woman named Kiki?
We all should think what could be done to get more
chickys involved in this hobby though...
