Quite, but at least in the seventies, a few of the mini makers were somewhat 
less so.

	I recall trade shows in the 80s (during the time of the ubiquitous
plain box with QIC tape slot in front, serial ports behind and UNIX inside)
where some of the young lady shills extolling the virtues of yet another
fridge like unix box would be somewhat sparsely covered.

They still had babes, even IBM; even if very properly (but still somewhat
skimpyly) dressed. 

And the hardware was ALWAYS a mockup. There were never more than 2-3 cables
in any picture (a real supermini cabinet often had 200+ cables coming out of it)
and the power lights were not lit. And the images on the screens were obvious
fakes.

But the models faked interest in the hardware, with varying degrees of success.

I remember a demonstration at some computer show I attended in NYC one 
time.  Tandem was showing the reliability of their machines.  Very 
pretty bikini clad young lady pulled half the boards out of the machine 
and tossed them on the floor, while output scrolled by on an attached 
terminal.  Then she picked those boards up and stuck them back in, after 
which she pulled out the other half of the board and tossed them on the 
floor, and the output never faltered.  Of course there could have been a 
PC hidden in the woodwork providing the output for all I know.

DEC did it differently.  One of the Tape Prep gals was very photogenic
so they used her as a model.  They used the Marketing PDP-10 and she
did know what she was doing when she was shown working at the console.

Never.  I don't like my picture being taken.  Note that, at that time,
we all were wearing miniskirts.

Yes, and clothes are more flattering to women if they are slimmer, within 
reason.

This reminds me of something I once read in an interview about Star Trek. In 
looking for actresses who were truly "beautiful", as opposed to just pretty or attractive, I suppose, the interviewee claimed that this was actually difficult 
- but they had success by hiring actresses who had worked before on soap operas.

An example of this would, I suppose, be Terry Farrell, and indeed she is 
beautiful by any definition. Thus, I suspect that as her face and eyes are 
particularly good features, these are the criteria for that particular 
definition of "beautiful".

Kids have always been very conformist.  The reason they are seen as 
nonconformist is that they tend to conform to the peer culture, not the 
parental culture.  In the '60s it was "do your own thing" as long as 
your own thing included jeans, tie-dye shirts, and rock.

It's kind of strange where I work--lot of women at very high levels but 
as you move down and the employees get younger we see fewer and fewer.  
Everybody in the chain of command between me and the CEO is a woman, but 
all but one of the developers other than my supervisor is male.  Not 
because there's any bias there--I was part of the hiring process on the 
last person we hired and the consensus was that we'd have hired an 
orangutan if it could write decent code--but because that's who is 
applying for the jobs.

Not where I currently work!  40% is more like it, though a very large percentage of those are of Indian or Chinese or Vietnamese extraction.  Not all are recent immigrants, a fair number are American by birth.  I think those cultures are less likely to allow their children to major in the various useless "studies" degrees.

Weren't where I have worked. Most of the places I worked, women were
secretaries, admin assistants, or janitors. Not in IT nor managers.

Nan Detlaff and Marj Benson, to name two of my acquaintance (though Nan usually
used BAL, since she was an OS/360 systems programmer).

Nan was manager of the systems programmers at the Computer-Assisted Education
Laboratory of the College of Education at the University of Texas when I was a
lowly work-study lab monitor (who happened to know programming, which
fascinated her).

Marj was the manager of Financial Systems at the University of Chicago
Computation Center who hired me as a junior programmer/analyst after I finished
class work for my Ph. D. in another field entirely.  It was her mandate that
all non-vendor code (mostly COBOL) be written in PL/I.

And I'd say both of them respected themselves with good reason.

Make that three: My high school girlfriend, Lin Nielsen (now Cochran), made a
good living with her library science degree and DBA skills.  She's the one who
gave me a book on programming the System/360 as a graduation present.

PL/I rules!  Just because it was ported to the VAX under VMS doesn't mean it's
a bad language.

Over the years, I had little respect for PL/I.  Then the time came when
I had to use PL/I for a serious enhancement to existing PL/I code.  The
language did not let me down.  I found it quite easy to write the simple
parts with simple code and when I had to get into more sophisticated
stuff, I found the language has some nice advanced features.

Of course it makes no difference whether the coder is wearing a dress or
a pair of slacks.  I think referring to the coders sex was an attempt to
be cute.  Which I found annoying.

Pete, of course is the PL/I expert on this forum.  I'd listen to his
opinion rather than the ignorant comment from the know-nothing poster
you replied to.

PL/I did indeed have good features.

It treated numerical constants as being intrinsically decimal, rather than 
binary, however, which was potentially confusing to some programmers.

Also, it was ahead of its time: because it needed to pass information on the 
type and size of variables, it couldn't use the simple subroutine calling 
sequence that was the "standard" for the 360 which FORTRAN (and, I think, 
COBOL) used.

I have a year's experience coding pl/1 for business, (or rather; warfare, 
since it was in the Navy ;-). It was a pleasant experience. We had to
convert a lot of old autocoder/1410 code; which was an exercise in 
data archehology, even if the code was then only 22 years old. (1962-84).
Now that pl/1 is older, but still in good shape.

There are important bits I still miss from pl/1 when coding in C. But
I do want warnings when the type conversion kicks in.
