For the love of a game...
14-15 years turned $40-50 into $1025.
I hear a sealed copy of Chrono Trigger went for even more.

Ada Lovelace
It is Ada Lovelace day.
The story of women in computing is pretty sad actually. In the early days, teams of female programmers worked on the systems of the time. This was during the war.
When the war ended, they were forcibly removed. Those that clung to their career weren't exactly treated with respect. One woman that excelled in spite of this is the late Rear Admiral Grace Murray Hopper.
"It's easier to ask forgiveness than it is to get permission"
She created the first compiler and was involved in the team behind the Univac I. I've always thought of her story as an amazing one.
Can you imagine how different the IT field would be if a small group of people didn't succeed in turning software development into a boys club? These women excelled at this work. All this prescribed gender role bullshit is absolutely unnecessary. It's a real shame.

If not, I'd understand. I think I'm a bit of an anti-packrat. Thinking of ebaying, or giving away to friends, some of my desired, but not quite adored, merchandise. And I don't even have that much.
