Re: 1980s (Score 2)

I'm a woman. I was born in 1979, so I grew up during the 80s. We got our first computer when I was 2 and I wrote my first program at 7. I was a girly girl in the sense that I liked frilly dresses and pink. I still love fashion. I also grew up with Star Wars and Star Trek! I still love Sci Fi. As a kid I enjoyed playing with Legos, robotics, and star wars toys. I didn't care for barbies, but did like my rainbow bright doll and strawberry shortcake doll. I get excited about programming! I never saw my career choice as a way to get into management. I just love to code and don't care for working in a group. I find I like to be social, but not while I'm working. I also love gadgets and get excited when new ones come out. So while I'm a rare girl and I think other girls need to know that you can be girly and into software and gadgets all at the same time! I'm a Senior Software Engineer who enjoys C#.NET and have been for 12+ years.
