Don't complain about it here. Won't do any good and it just makes me feel worse. I really enjoyed doing the Computer Guys every month.
I am particularly bummed of late after Sen. Grassley was able to not only give the money-grubbing President of the Smithsonian the heave-ho, but was also able to dig down into the organization to go after the enablers and other crooks. I saw him trying to do the same at AU. But at AU/WAMU I think I was the only one unwilling to sign a vow of silence. I'm convinced that if AU/WAMU staff had responded with integrity the crooks would have been found out and the Computer Guys would still be the Computer Guys. So sad. When people do not respond with integrity that is when really bad things start happening: Abu Grav, Gitmo, firings of U.S. attorneys, Microsoft anti-trust, etc. etc. None would have happened if people had responded with integrity. No, the Computer Guys is not of the same scale, but lack of integrity has a corrosive action on all aspects of life. >I listened to the podcast of the computer guys last night at work and I am >struck at how completely useless this show has become.
