On: How To Handle Corporate Blackmail?

This pseudo-warning has no merit whatsoever. The worst they can do is mark you as ineligible for rehire - which usually prompts questioning by HR and your manager's superiors. Although most states prevent anything other than dates, positions, salary and rehire verification - some metro areas do have a tight IT network. You did your part by giving more than a two-week notice. Your manager is trying to squeeze every last ounce of talent from you before you leave. Stick with the three-week notice...and if he/she still has a problem, make it two weeks and give yourself an extra week of vacation! :)

On: Geeks in Management?

Very good advice. Another thing that you'll have to do is figure out a way to "let go" of your geek talents and let those below you do the geek work instead. This is often difficult, because you know how to fix something and want to do it yourself - but your role has now changed, and it's no longer your job to fix it. You can still be involved in the solution (and should be) but let the geeks do their thing.

They're already doing it, aren't they?

AOL owns Netscape, which already has free webmail - granted, it isn't the greatest and doesn't have the AOL branding, but it's still in existence.
