[sdiy] Female sdiy'ers

[Stewart Pye]

The situation was the same when I studied electronic engineering in the 
late '90's. Other than one lady who was formerly a man it was all guys 
in our classes. The IT classes did have a few girls however, and one of 
them was particularly attractive, hence my transfer from one of the 
electronics subjects to a C Programming class!

Regards,
Stewart.
