Subj: Re: [kl] Gender bias - survey?

I'm not sure how accurate such a compilation would be- even if we could
identify all our members. At one time there was a sizeable gender gap in
computer and internet usage. While in my personal life I've seen many more
women of all ages beginning to become computer literate I'm not convinced
that we're equally represented. Has anyone seen recent statistics?
Best Wishes,
Anne
