Maria,
I would like to add just one thing, Switches and Router and cables they are
not distinguishing between a man and a woman.
I'm really proud that women are starting to attack the WAN world. but I
think Designing WAN networks is very suitable Women not like us, but
Troubleshooting is more suitable to us.....
Anyway, wishful thinking :-)))
