hah! well, it was said to us when we had our first departmental meeting and sign-up for classes.. "Congratulations! you are the first class to break the Female-To-Dave ratio.. there are more females than 'Daves' in this class!"
I kinda resent the comments about it's all just affirmative active taking play. It's not. Just talking with the other girls here, they have just as much of a CS background as the males.
I am just waiting for the day that the female thing isn't an issue. It is kind of uncomfortable.. at any predominantly engineering/science school, you're gonna get the same gender disparities, I suppose.
