Add it to the Dilbert tab&#151 &#147Two of our senior, senior people spent the whole day dinking with our NT server today. Does this get added to the Dilbert tab?&#148 The company I'm currently under contract with was a 33.3/33.3/33.3 Mac/Win/Sun shop. Got a new CEO a while back; former Intel exec. We're in process now of taking out the Macs due to 'ease of burden on sysadmins'. Curiously, the Mac users, on rare occasions when they had problems, could usually fix them on their own with the simple 'toss prefs', zap 'PRAM' stuff that Mac owners can do. Sysadmin time was spent with Wintel users anyway. Now, it's a 66.7/33.3 NT/Sun shop. So now the majority of people get to spend time on the sysadmin lines. The Dilbertarians are wanting to move to a 100% NT. shop. Not sure that's going to happen. All I know for sure&#151I get a lot less work done now, and am on first-name basis with more techs than I ever wanted to know. Not that they're unpleasant folks&#151they're just grumpy from being overworked and it shows. They accidentally re-formatted one of our lead Oracle programmer's drives whilst trying to get him up and running. One small ooops for the tech team&#151one big OOPs for boneheads believing Wintel = improved productivity. -MrB&#153
