Actually, although these generalisations are true, in a population sample of even about 100 people the sex differences are distinctly overshadowed by personal differences between individuals. So, for a team of 4-5 it is a rather dubious argument! As for "underrepresented", well... I know NOTHING about it but I get the impression from the names of people enrolled in CS and IT courses at my uni that girls aren't exactly breaking down the doors to get into software design... Good luck tho'! >Requirements: * Talent, no qualifications necessary. Obviously talent is very important :-) More important than qualifications, too! >* Hard working, young, very ambitious. Young, huh? Ambitious, huh? *Exactly* what sort of titles are you developing, mate? ;-) >If you're interested please email me with details as soon as possible, >around three or four members required. 2bad@lineone.net. Three or four members required? I guess it's going to be one of *those* kinds of deals :-) Nick "smileys all over the place!" F Disclaimer: I am not a sexist git. Nor am I some sad, jakey code nerd with "nudie girl" playing cards for company. I just thought this was quite an amusing post... --------------------------- http://www.saqnet.co.uk/users/nickf http://www.n64gazetta.com http://www.netyaroze-europe.com/~rookie1 ICQ #9464742 "...despite all that's happened, there are still some people with a sense of humour!"
