I self-taught myself the Mac (mostly by breaking the software and then having to fix it).Vicki is from Long Beach, CA, and graduated from Long Beach Polytechnic High School's PACE Program with high honors. Still to this day I have no idea what a System.ini file is or why they always went missing -) I was actually mostly PC until I went to work at the advertising agency.

It was pointed out to me by someone else that he made a disparaging tweet about me being a woman. I actually had someone on Twitter, who I was trying to help, get a bit too aggressive with me so I had to block him. So I put on his receipt “FIXED BY A GIRL”. It was all in good fun but his wife was mortified. The guy looks at me and yells “I can’t believe it was fixed by a girl!”. They bring it in and I reset the printing system and it prints. They had spent hours and hours trying on their own and working with HP tech support. We had a husband and wife bring in their iMac and printer that they couldn’t get to print. I’ve only had two incidents that stand out. Sometimes you can tell they are surprised to see a woman show up but once you fix those problems they’ve been having for months, in a short amount of time they don’t care. I’ve had more problems being a Mac tech than a woman tech. Marilyn: There’s been so much talk on this lately.
