Yea, the old sysadmin here called it et-see here also. I caught the bug.
Oh my God, Did I say sysadmin???? I meant SA! (Wart off some of
the flames). Especially the person who pointed out that I spelled
implementation incorrectly. Gee, and the rest of that article was
perfect. Awww, gee, I was almost a wizard... That one character blew
it for me. :-(
Guess I will have to quit my job and everything.
Hey, my job..., not Adelphi University, my programmer alalyst job...
I just thought of another one...
How do you tell a wizard? By how much money the company pays him TO STAY
TECHNICAL and not move into management where he becomes a pencil pushing
gghant chart maker-upper.
