My derogatory comment: Why is a manager who doesn't know that in charge > of making IT decisions?!! I'd just like to point out that it isn't necessary for someone in charge of making IT decisions to have the knowledge required to make them. The best manager I ever had didn't know squat about technology. But she knew that, and also knew her tech people well enough to know to trust them. Just to provide a contrast, the second-best manager I ever had had been a tech, and still worked in the trenches. http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
