  Hefty Task to Take to Hand

  It surprises me a little that the more things change, the more they stay the same. When I was in high school, home computers were just coming out (no such thing as software programs like today). There was a big push to get more girls interested in Computer Science &, of course, math.

  In the R.O.P. programming class, we had almost as many girls as boys. Our teacher was a female, so that helped tremendously. The competition during assignments was always girls vs. boys. Happily, we tended to match or outdo them!

  I applaud anyone whom attempts to take on something that society has continued to turn a blind eye to. Why do Mothers continue to teach their Daughters, either by choice or example, that college is for 'finding a husband, or, to take a major that is considered 'safe'?

  Kudos to Ms. McKellar!!

  SF could learn from NY

  I was given one of these briliant little buggers by another volunteer. She is a student @ NYU - from Berkeley originally. During an AIDS Hotline training in SF, she brought the whole NY condom thing up. Which we all thought was a fabulous idea! FREE CONDOMS -YAY!!!

  The SF AIDS Foundation pays for all the condoms they buy. As do most non-profits in CA. Yet, they give them all away for FREE at local events & community gatherings. If only SF & local CA governments were a little more open minded - as 'everyone' always claims we are here in CA. Instead, cities like SF are doing NADA to help with the $7 million in Federal AIDS funding that was lost this year to the city. Seems like a no-brainer to me.
