Manager and a Leader aren't synonymous. A Manager manages... he/she does not have to necessarily lead; they just have to be able to account for their "managed items". People don't follow a manager... they just answer to him/her. A Leader, on the other hand, leads... if he/she is a good enough Leader, the management falls into place by itself.
I can see a computer being a manager.. maybe even a competent one. As long as it can account for all its items, it's doing its job. But is it a "good" manager? ie., is it utilizing its resources in the best, most cost-effective yet still productive manner?
Now, can a computer be a good leader? Personally, I follow those I respect. As I can't respect a machine as a leader, I wouldn't follow a computer.. which would make the computer something other than a leader, at least in my frame of reference.
I'll stand by B&H. My dad's been using them for years, and I just started up with them about 6 months ago. Prices are DIRT cheap, delivery is fast, no complaints about anything from them.
I remember the Crazy Eddie commercials when I was growing up. Those, and the Carvel Ice Cream commercials, were the best.

Gives a new meaning to "dirty movie".
Skyscrapers, leaderboards, popups, popunders, I don't care. I use FF.
So does this mean that there's finally, actually a good chance that the hot cheerleader you're IMing is actually a hot cheerleader?
wink wink, nudge nudge, say no more.
