Kory, It's pretty much the same way here. All the geeks here (like me) are in the engineering task forces. However, one of the VP's here is very much pro open source and is a bit of a rebel and a geek himself. His motto is "I'd rather ask forgiveness, than ask permission."
Only time will tell.

After all, we hardly have any geeks working in our MIS department (where is a good geek when one needs one). I like to think of it as looking through the Sears catalog at Christmas when you were a kid...it doesn't hurt to wish. -K --- "Richards, Ed" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Kory, > > I would love for that to be the ultimate long term > result of all of this. > > Ed Richards, PE > Staff Electrical Engineer > Ford, Bacon & Davis, LLC > 12021 Lakeland Park Drive > Baton Rouge, Louisiana 70809 > Office - 225-297-3335 > Fax - 225-756-3056 > Cell - 225-964-2606 > [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Kory Wnuk [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Thursday, August 22, 2002 3:49 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: RE: [brlug-general] High Suckage Factor > > When you started talking about making a living, I > misread your post.
