Are you an IT Hostage?

We had some fun illustrating an important point http://is.gd/mOdH

Many small organizations maintain a sickly, bonsai-sized version of a corporate data center. Sometimes the gear is in an actual room with a locking door; more often it’s relegated to a dingy corner or closet somewhere in the office, replete with a rack of old blinking CPUs, spaghetti-cabled routers and hubs, dusty modems, and a bushel or two of manuals and disks that no one can bring themselves to toss in the trash. This is the domain of the “IT Person,“ and to most owner/managers, it’s the workplace equivalent of an opium den; nothing good can come from entering.

Don’t accept jargon.

Oh boy.  You guys really have been working too hard . . . . perhaps all of us minions need to send you more “thanks for the good job!“ messages?

Now that we have some video of you, who are the two great actors?

PS.  The clip makes its point.

The clip was made quite a while ago.  The cast is Mike (hostage) and Paul (geek).  If anyone wants a date I’ll hook ya up wink
