Exactly ... who needs IT guys locally when you pay them online and someone
who knows nothing about the hardware/software behind the scene clicks
buttons with his mouse.

The IT guy at the company I was referring to is now making movies there.
Good thing he found something else to do since he virtualized himself and
others out of a paycheck.

The next email in my Inbox is from Dropbox ... new Terms of Service. I
wonder if it lessens their liability when I'm hacked. Still an old school
type of guy ... nothing stored online that isn't expendable.
