The value is in that these sysadmins aren't being paid. Sometimes they go on holiday without having the decency to hire - out of their own pockets - a temporary replacement. Sometimes they go out and get drunk instead of slaving over a hot terminal. Sometimes they just can't be arsed and decide to play GTA3 instead. Having a redundant array of inexpensive sysadmins is a Good Thing. -- Lord Protector David Cantrell | http://www.cantrell.org.uk/david The test of the goodness of a thing is its fitness for use. If it fails on this first test, no amount of ornamentation or finish will make it any better, it will only make it more expensive, more foolish. -- Frank Pick, lecture to the Design and Industries Assoc, 1916
