Be careful what you wish for. It might just come true.

Well, IT is an important part of the machinery within any organization, but it's not the driving force of the organization.
Scientists need computers running, but IT isn't going to do science.

"For now."
[Image: terminator-5-sarah-connor-actress.jpg]
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

-Stephen Jay Gould

That's like saying that drone ants don't get enough respect, even though they are the driving force behind a colony's survival and growth.

Yes, they are important. And on an individual level, expendable.

I am working on the CCIE for R&S and CCNP Data Center.

I perform and integrate most of the core routing. Multicast is a bitch!
