I most certainly agree with you on the part that lots of women are great multi taskers, come on we can drive a car put makeup on and talk on the cell phone all at once! When it comes to systems I can tell you first hand that when I was in class it was assumed that everyone knew what a carburetor was. (sorry but I didn't know anything when it came to systems
)
