If she's not in fact a wizard, then she's doing a real good job faking it (and I doubt that). It might also interest you to know that the Senior Staff Engineer at Tolerant Systems is a woman... her name is Joan Arnett. She has had this position for all of the 2 years I have been here - probably more than that. So they're out there - they're just still very much in the minority.
