Yes, it's quite amusing how some people who should know better, actually get it wrong.

Thanks for the link, Stack.

I found the article about the Top 10 most important people in the history of computers interesting as well.

Done. What can I say? I'm a slow reader.

It was a good article. They did say that they left out lots of people, and that the individuals mentioned were not in a strict chronological order, but I was hoping that they'd mention at least one woman. Not to mention the fact that I was hoping it would be Grace Hopper.

Fortunately the scientific community is not as closed or exclusive as it used to be. :D
