Kirrily,
Around here (Seattle), I could probably charge 25% more to the
male students if I could tell them in advance that the F/M ratio would
be that favorable! 8-} Seriously, in my 16 years of software training
experience, I'd say that 90% of our classes have had fewer than 7% females
( <= 1 out of 14 students ), and 95% have had fewer than 14% !
Are you an especially eligible bachelor, by any chance? 8-}

P.S. *Just* got off the phone with United Airlines - spent some frequent
flier miles for a RT to Sydney in March/April - so "throw another shrimp
on the barbie!"
