      an awful lot, he says that 3d... is the key to getting an A in the course, if you can visualise whats happening in your mind, then it puts you well above others.

        I thought you were the only programmer there, and all the rest was web-developers of some kind... Does this mean you are 72% female? ;P - Anders Money talks, but all mine ever says is "Goodbye!"

                    There are several fields where women are unrepresented for no apparent reason; the two that pop into mind are motorcycle and automobile racing. Believe it or not, I think there's a parallel. In motor racing, most drivers were heavily involved as kids--it's more than Dads (and Moms) pushing it, they become car nerds, er, nuts. And then there's the competitive, generally without grudges, angle Likewise, most the programmers I know are techno-geeks, or were for the first ten years in the business. Even when they get burned out, they still pay attention to the dry news report that company x increased processor speed by so much (like the car geeks ears perk up when a company gets 5 more horse power out of an engine.) My point is, that relatively few women are techno-geeks or car nuts for that matter, as teenagers and I think that shapes choices when going into college. (My teenage daughter keeps pictures of high end cars which is considered odd by all her girl friends, but not her guy friends.)

                      And Sarah Fisher did a test drive at Indianapolis in a McLaren on Friday. Unfortunately, to date I've not been impressed with her driving in IRL, but that's oval racing, she may be better on real racetracks.:)
