Comments on interesting article... Carmen recommends that everyone read the comments following the article, "Opening Doors for Women in Computing." The comments illustrate some of the hostile attitudes out there, reinforcing the need for showing young women and men that computers are not just for the guys. The article can be found at http://news.com.com/Opening+doors+for+women+in+computing/2100-1022_3-5557311.html.
