Re: First time I heard of her -- thanks!

I heard of her. My A Level Computer Studies teacher, back in 1978/79 was a woman, a Systems Analyst on secondment, She had some great stories, including about women in computing, so it never feels odd to me to meet women in tech fields as it does for some others of my generation. I guess what you learn and the examples you see in your formative years really does have an effect on your outlook throughout your life.
