Not too many.  I can't recall any, in fact.  Actually at our company, we have a woman programmer, and are hiring another one!  That makes the ratio there about 1 in 25 programmers, not bad!  ;)

It was the same in my uni classes (there are about 30 guys to each girl) and all my 26 lecturers were also male.  I only met one that was actually interested in the programming aspect of computer science and she was in a different year.

The funny thing is(or maybe not so funny), among all of their buttons, there is only one or two that are "The right buttons" the rest are the wrong buttons.

I grew up with four sisters and chased as many girls
as I could. Then I me my wife on the Internet, we have a 3 yr old daughter
and she is just like her mum, nag nag nag!

But I couldnt live without them :o))

I've worked with Patricia Nelson (you'll find her in the acknowledgements) on compilers on and off for 20 years. She's a crackerjack programmer and a good friend.
