My prior experience as a sys-mod in '92-95+ at GLFN, My Mom at a small Telecom/data on company in Michigan from ~'91-98 & student assistant for UNT Telecom/datacom for a couple summers. One of my IRL friends who has been working (at least the last 10+ years) with hardware and software system maintenance and well as upgrades for server emergency repairs for big trucking companies or insurance companies I have a glimpse at what your referring to.Actually, air quality is better today than it's been in weeks!
The problem with being the site-owner is sometimes there a LOT of work to do behind the scenes that doesn't increase my post count![]()
I've build enough PC's from scratch & tinkered networks & with servers too.

Your no slouch.... And I've finally had a few nights to wander around your nifty site... Yeah. Not anywhere close to slouch/lazy/what-have-you.
