Thank you for the offer but I think I will be ok, I just need some extra hands on deck. Small history on myself. I started using Mac's back in 1985 when Apple did a pilot at my school and got us 20 512k Mac's. Once school made clear that Mac's were not the future in publishing (hahahaha) I decided to cut my education short in 1990 and started working at a small design company that had some classics and an LC for design work. At this company I discovered that I had more talent for fixing computers and I sucked at design so I moved into support. In 1994 I started working at Apple Benelux and in 1995 I moved to Slough to become teamleader at the European telephone helpdesk, run by BT. When in 1998 they lost the contract to ICL I was offered a job at Apple UK in Stockley Park to work on their webdesign team which I did for a year. I also did a short 5 months as Apple Care Exec Assistant which sounded cool at the time but was translated into updating databases, yech. Lucky for me one of my friends rescued me and offered me me a job as a webdesigner at a startup dot com called Mediasurface where I would get shares. As we all know the dot com bubble burst and that was the end of that... I now work as the Mac IT manager at the Cordiant Communications Group at the main UK office located next to Paddington Station in London. There were only 40 or so Mac's when I arrived, that has grown to 250 Mac's in just one year. I have been rolling out a standard system for all Mac's as they had anything between 7.5 and 9.2. I also moved any Beige boxes out of the building and replaced them with either iMac's or G4 towers, and a few Blue & Whites. Now moving forward we have a Lotus Notes email to exhange to deal with and the movie to OSX, plenty to do but not enough people to do it. So if anyone would like to join me, pls send me your CV.
