I was watching an old Episode of Friends (season 2, sometime in the 90s) and Chandler was excited about his 120MB RAM, some other oustandingly low MB harddrive, state-of-the-art laptop. Sucker looked like a an old-skool game of Battleship. ;D. I instantly felt better about my purchase.

lol I love it. Presentation to management about how screwed we are next year and he's like "well they'll probably want to outsource you to get 2 people for the price of 1". Um...great. Thanks for that.

Thanks MsB! I find I actually put off women far more than men. I was talking to my youngest sister about this the other day (she wants to get into my industry too) and I realized that I've spent years mimicking male body language, and it's really helped me in working with so many men (still sitting at 90% male industry). The way men make eye contact, smile or don't, how far apart they stand to each other, etc., is all very different from how women interact.
But I've gotten so good at it that I come off cold to a lot of women I think. I've been taking American Tribal Style belly dance classes for a couple of months now, which is all women and very physical, of course. So before each class I have to psych myself up to get into "girl" body language, and constantly remind myself during class about making eye contact and smiling and everything.
A guy I worked with at that consulting job over the summer said one day that I'm not really a girl, I just look like one. I've got the shoes and the hair, but it's all just a ruse. 
I've always been a tomboy, and I think that vibe makes it easier to get along with me, at least when I'm not wearing huge fake eyelashes. At least I think it has -- so far I've gotten good results.
