Ideally, one did not have to be in the same building as other people to be in the same firm and working on the same project. This was supposed to mean that women could work at home. It was supposed to mean that computing would be a particularly inviting field for women. This doesn't seem to have happened. Has it? If not, why not? -Trish usenet ucbvax!jade!violet!skyler arpa skyler@violet.berkeley.edu
