Seems reasonable. Also think about Oracle and Sybase wizards (combined
with the BOFH and/or $language Guru roles initially) and an NT person.
Actually, *all* the tech people should be sufficiently multi-skilled to

them, they can command more dosh, and they (and the company) are protected
if one of their skills goes badly out of fashion.
