   There are females in ComputerDom? Where? I wish they'd show themselves!
I suppose it's the same reason that most criminals are male, that most
everything crazy, stupid, or just plain out of the blue is done by males.
Must be the hormones. Maybe another thing is that women are having enough
trouble breaking cultural conditioning (or whatever keeps them out of math
and science) that they're not worried about slicing into assembly programs
at 3am...yeah, that must be it.
