  1. Re:Windows installer requires them on Farewell To the Floppy Disk · · Score: 1

    The average "PC World" shopper isn't going to know what a RAID controller is. Because one store decided to quit selling them doesn't mean the necessity has gone away. Anyone upgrading to Vista server tomorrow? I didn't think so.

  2. Re:The reason on Why Don't More CIOs Become CEO? · · Score: 1

    Of the two I mentioned one is required to make $130 million a year min. or they go bankrupt. The other is working strictly off VC and probably won't be profitable for at least 5 years with about $6.5 M a year in revenue.

    I would love to post the company names but hate the idea of a slander suit. You would recognize the VC CEO from the name of his former company, where he was CEO, and they kicked him out.

  3. Re:The reason on Why Don't More CIOs Become CEO? · · Score: 2, Informative

    I know two CEO's including the one I support on a daily basis as an MIS. He's the one who can't keep from permanently deleting his email and wanting it restored. And he's the one who goes on vacation three to four days a week every week. The second one lives in my neighborhood and is not much better. I can say I have met and do know more CEO's than these and I can provide specific examples of their on-going mistakes and lackidazical attitudes. It can't be described as anything less. IT knows too much. There's no room for the company to claim plausible denyability. And everyone hates the IT staff, even the CIO. Back over your laptop in the parking lot? It's IT's fault.
