How Mac, Windows and Linux see each other

[Karen]

So you let your IT guy take vacations?

Im happy I amuse you. How amused will you be the next time you cant get to the data you need to do your job and your IT Guy is in the Congo?

ETA: Unless you are an even bigger Luddite then LH and still use the stone and tablet you learned to write on.

Blue, you are wrong. Just want to correct one point that you have repeated. LH is NOT a Luddite. Has not been since childhood, is not now, was not raised to be, and never will be. Got that? I have been his sister his whole life, you can trust me on that one.

Oh the cross I bear...I simply MUST be connected 24X7X52 or the whole world will fall in upon itself and disintergrate into a ball of fire.

Are you really that important??? Fourteen people and their families and their families onto the tenth generation will starve...be lost without your devine intervention!

ROTFLMAO at your sense of self-importance.

You noticed that too huh?

*sigh* I thought it was a cute cartoon....

I own my own business. I have clients who pay me very well. I am "free".

In fact, I am so free...I do not need to be available 24X7X52...

As if that is a measure of freedom or importance....

Let me know if you need advice on how to take care of clients better - so they don't need you 24X7X52!

What is your deal? Are you always this miserable or just on pet talk?

Chin up... life isn't that bad

Not to worry Sparky. I am as happy as a lark. Probably because I do not have the weight of 14 families on my shoulders!

Sorry but that is just soooo funny. Thanks for bringing it up again!

[sparks19]

well then maybe I'll just send some of this snow your way so you'll chill out

Not to worry...it is a gorgeous day here. Not too hot. Nice coastal breeze.

Perfect California chilling weather! Would you like some of my gorgeous sunshine to perk you up?

[sparks19]

No way I love the snow It's my favorite kind of weather

I am on call 24/7, if I didn't respond bad things could happen, I am not self important it is a fact of the nature of the IT work that I do.

Its not bad planning or bad training or whatever, stuff happens. If you haven't done someone's job you shouldn't judge.

Its just the nature of the beast in IT. Many of our clients are 24x7 operations. E-Commerce server dies at 3am, costing them $3,000/hour its down... You bet im taking that call. Could I be a 'better' IT provider and get them into a 99.999% up time environment? Sure. But, because I really understand small business I just know better than to even offer it to certain clients, because some of that technology is REALLY expensive.

Anyway....

Sure, to many of you that does not seem like freedom. To me, it is. I am my own boss and get to enjoy a great life. Even better, I get to help share that success with 13 other great people!

The End.

This is true. Computer problems don't stop at 5 pm. Bad weather can hit any time and can be catastrophic for servers and the like lol. especially when you get an unexpected 8-10 inches of snow before halloween LOL.

As anyone who has ever used a computer can attest to.... computers go down at the most inopportune times lol

I am sure there could be a company that has a business model that puts the entire fate of the organization on one person's 24/7/52 availability.

But other than a sole proprietor, I cannot imagine why.

And it certainly would not be a company I would want my family dependent upon!

Wow, this a good thread. Just like the war all over again.
