Dear Teresa: Thank you for the nice mention of my Huffington Post column. I have been friendly with Catherine Collins for a couple of years and through Microsot she has kindly underwritten four interns in the Mayor's Ladders for Leaders intern program in NYC. I am anxious to build on your DigiGirlz program and see if we can't do more in New York with it and certainly incorporate it into the city's technology programs. I am meeting with Catherine on wednesday. We may have to make it DigiGuys as well. Let me know if you're in New York and I would love to meet you. Betsy

Who cares for gender? I don't. I just care for results. Show me your code. If we compete for results it is obvious that women are not smart enough for computers and too lazy. Most women don't deliver. They lack the social skills to deal with computers. Maybe it is the fault of society and education that permits women to be lazy. They need special training to overcome their barriers to technology. No, I won't fix your computer... Thank you, Microsoft.
