Yeah, its quite amusing to watch the expressions on people's faces as they meet the female "IT guy"
Unfortunately I still have to prove myself in these situations, as a girl couldn't possibly know anything about IT.
I am a girl (shock horror!) and grew up tinkering with a 286 back in the 80's when I was 10 years old.
I don't know any other girls that were interested in computers to that extent....
I still have yet to meet a female network admin/engineer. I feel like I'm the only one.
The contact list scenario doesn't work if you are running a support email address for customers to obtain software support.
Even if you hide the email address behind contact forms, you still get people who get trojans on their PC, which then run through their contact list, happily submitting our (up til then) unspammed email addresses to harvestors.
I can't even give my email address to my friends or Grandma in case they get a trojan and spoil my clean email address.
What is the world coming to:-(
I have a Xeenon mp3 shuttle II (which is at least 4 years old) that happily plays mp3s from a 15G drive. No inverter required.
My boyfriend has a modded Xbox with a 120G drive in his car. Add in an xbox wireless card and it can be updated remotely. Add a Python script and it plays mp3s when the car starts.
I am a gaming chick and love playing Counterstrike. However I have a similar problem to the original poster. My boyfriend wants to spend all his time in the Garage tinkering with stuff.
So we allocate time when he does his garage thing and I go do something else. That way we are both happy.
Then later we talk about what we got up to in our own time eg. how many times he dropped hot solder on his foot etc.
Some time apart is a good thing as it can get stifling if you are always together.

Conversation with Elbot - it just asked me how I found it's website. I replied, Slashdot. Elbot replied, that explains all the geeks visiting.

It would be nice if google provided a transation feature that doesnt produce non-sensical translations.... (Italian is shocking)
