For anybody interested, I came across an interview between Ladyada (Adafruit.com) and Paul Horowitz - one of the authors of the book "The Art of Electronics" (the book is not cheap at about $100 but well worth it - it fits that place where you are not interested in all the high power math, but want to know how to do things with electronic components and how they work). Excellent book in my opinion (I have the older second edition on my shelf) - anyway, here is the interview that is an interesting watch (youtube)
I got the 3rd ed for my daughter when it was launched last year. If they only update after another 30 years it should see her through the rest of undergrad, postgrad and her career.
yeah, the most awesome movie ever, made in 1997, produced, written, and directed by Lynn Hershman Leeson, oh, and let me say modern ideas are so portrayed as limited by discrimination against women in technology, science and mathematics in her time, that the science still needs an attempt to use genetic engineering to bring Countess Lovelace into the present.
