John, I do not know if it was this way when you started but there were not a lot of older IT folks back in the early 70's. Really the field was so young then that most were very young and for the most part mostly male. It has changed much, is changing now, and should change even more in the future.

To make the profession better we need all who are willing to participate in this great adventure. There is room for all who wish to contribute.
