Anyone remember the old Timex-Sinclair 2000 with embedded basic and the unstable 16k extension pack?...many is the night I spent learning BASIC there...anyone remember getting magazines that actually had complete programs you could could type in...in hex? Ahhhh....those were the days...then you could graduate to C64...
Every admin I've talked to fell into the postion, just like myself. I just happened to be the person at my first admin job (wasn't an admin initially) who knew the most about computers. Had nothing to do with my degree (it was in Physics, never received since I spent too much time being an admin).
However, stay with devlopment...it pays better and you actually get to have a life outside the office.
Why would you want a way for viruses to get onto your system? That's why I run linux, so I don't have to worry about catching any nasty bugs on my box. If I'm not mistaken, WINE already has that problem.

Actually, the preliminary exciting results would be that it didn't crash into the planet or just disappear.
