I don't know about this particular list, but there are many noteworthy women in
our hobby.
Here's a reference point: there are several female subscribers to my
newsletter, more than I can count out of memory.
Just last week, a woman (Katherine Wasserman, Ph.D.) was the focus of the main
article! Katie collects vintage calculators, many of which are computers of
course; she even has a 1947 Swiss follow-up version of the Enigma machine.
She's got ** 300 ** pieces -- almost 400 if you count the replicas.
And what about Jeri Ellsworth? She's not active on this list, but she can
out-engineer Commodore stuff (and who knows what else) better than almost
anyone, whether they're boy, girl, or space alien.
Also, women are a huge segment of the vintage gaming hobby.

There were two whom I recall -- Allison Parent and Megan Gentry.
Allison left during the Great Flame War which resulted in the cctech/cctalk
split. A terrible loss to the list (IMHO) -- she knows a *lot* about CP/M
as well as design-level electronics.
I haven't seen a post from Megan in at least six months -- another huge
loss to the list, as she has a tremendous amount of knowledge of all
things DEC.
Sad.

Was that Alison? I remember the name from the list way back and wondered
what had happened to her, she seemed pretty clued-up on things. > I'll keep going:
So. Are there any women (left) on this list? Hmm... I wonder why.
There used to be one. She no longer is with us here. I think she more
got fed up with the general unruliness of the list more than anything.
