John, the duo that created Apple computer, the 2 Steves, Jobs and Wozniak, didn't take any government handouts. Both were long haired hippies without any university degrees (although Wozniak later returned and got his degree in Engineering). What set them apart from other "educated professionals" was that they had a dream that became, for them, a passion.

Every time one of these "diversity" columns come up you can be guaranteed that some mention will be made of government assistance. That is exactly what ISN'T needed! And, maybe, just maybe that many women have no interest in math or science.
