I was waking up just Jacobs coffee cup in hand. Now I am back from lunch and Lucia was driving -if you know what I mean. Thanks for your your info about Staples. In 1994 for the first time we had LAN's in our Project Offices. Because they hadn't planned for that, they didn't have places to put the LAN gear. So they would squeeze it wherever they could, behind a light partition. The stuff was tended by Filipino engineers who I use to call 'computer mouses' since they were often working in a tight corner behind those partitions. They liked because they send me e-mails signed "Computer Mouse" Here in Czech Republic is not very different. I work in a building that used to e a communist factory, (Tesla Karlin) now retrofitted as a telecoms company. The communists didn't see IT coming, so we still have the LAN gear squeezed in some tight corner of the building. The IT workers have already some sort of division of labor. Some guys are dressed in red (the company's people who move computers and printers around) and the engineers who work from their computers to hook us up to the LAN. I wonder if they are all species facing extinction if this thing goes the way you put. Have a nice Sunday, Guru!
