 Yep forgot about Allison. And I don't think we need
to read too deeply into some of my controversial
terminology.

 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.

 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...
