Nope. Right after we pulled out of the Viet Nam war, my mother
couldn't afford to feed me, so her friend allowed me to stay with her
in Denver. I shared a small two bedroom apartment with her and her
daughter.
I didn't have access to a computer until I was 19 years old.
Make no assumptions about female programmers who have worked as hard
as I have to attempt to overcome sexism and discrimination in computer
science education and employment.
If you are not worth my attention, I won't give it to you.
Women are NOT free software.
