In case it wasn't already mentioned, and I'm not about to read this
massive outpouring of posts (due to "female" in the subject line?), the
female is well-known for being typists (hope that isn't a sexist
remark-- but then, gee, this whole thread probably is) too, so I don't
have a clue to the mystery.
Contrary to Ken's statement about females not getting into the "nuts and
bolts", I have a sister who uses a computer a great deal and has the
remnants of one and has done drive installs, etc. on her working one.
She even fixed her VCR once (although it was simply a drive belt
problem). And she's a beautician, or hair dresser, by trade. You
wouldn't guess any of it by looking at her, perhaps she's one of the
rare few. Come to think of it, her husband cooks the meals and works at
a woodshop. They're just plain strange I guess.
