Yes, the government tends to throw away too much money. For an example, my
company's primary product is a client/server client and service management
system that we sell to many state government agencies. We, of course,
provide tech support for our customers. It amazes me how many calls we get
from "system administrators" that probably get paid twice what I do, that
don't even know how to do basic Windows networking. The most extreme
example is where the new "systems administrator" from the largest and the
most well funded state level government agency in the country, in our
particular niche, E-mailed one of our tech-support guys to ask him what his
E-mail address is ..... and this is the agency that is charged with
overseeing all other such agencies in the state.
Your tax dollars at work, ladies and gents. :)
