Re: we would have paid to have girls interested in our Commodores and Sinclairs....
Agree entirely. At the Uni Amateur Radio Club we heard an interested girl would come with one of the senior guys for sure, the committee was so keen to 'promote girls in Ham Radio' she got co-opted onto the club committee before she even showed up.
I looked around the club and pointed out "there are guys there that come here every week for years already and here we are promoting a woman we haven't even met, you should be ashamed". So they co-opted the regulars on too.
She never did show up. There were never any girls in the club. Come to think of it, there were never any electronic engineers (from my year) in the club except me.
