How incredible of a programmer do you have to be...

Well, I guess the best thing to do is to move the girl from the top left to the computer and the girl at the computer in the top left corner :) Doesn't that feel like better company _and_ better code? I'm also thinking that the guy is working in marketing.

No, it's not just you.

I dunno mate. That computer looks a bit slow and I doubt that keyboard is even plugged in (not exactly wireless I bet.) ;)

LOL... now that you mention it, the likeness is disturbing :~

Well the picture is really old. Maybe that's what was what "hot" was back then. If she just smiled, she'd be much better.

Where did you get that old picture of me? We've improved things a lot around here since then.:laugh:

That brings back memories... it's not a computer at all. It's a mainframe terminal. It's a Hazeltine Model 1510 (maybe a 1520 - hard to tell). My Dad helped design the damn thing about 35 years ago.

Well, you have to understand about the 70s. People just didn't look as good back then. This photo is from 1978-1982, and people just didn't look as good back then. I'm not sure what it was, maybe we are healthier now and have better makeup. But yeah, she's a dog... Do they still publish "BYTE" - it was a great mag for beginners as I remember?

Hey I program at a cancer center. A good 90% of the staff are women. We even have an ex-pro football cheerleader, she's the one that helps me hold my keyboard :)

This statement was never false.

Yes, makeup is better nowadays, but i have to disagree in terms of what looks better. While healthier IS better, what's trendy and fashonable today is well, unappealing IMO. But i'm referring to clothes and accessories. Roswell

Hot female programmers do exist, but as someone said... look for the adam's apple. Heheheeee....

Weeell, I dunno. I mean, the hardware seems to be somewhat outdated, and the workstation ergonomics are downright terrible. I assume that by "programmer" you *are* referring to the only person in the picture that seems to be doing something with a computer?
