They made snide remarks about a bright guy who disagreed with them (not me). If they were truck drivers, instead of looking for the next opportunity, they'd be saying that self-driving trucks will never work.Andrew Sauccihttp://www.2000computer.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22311364.post-13808236272527386832017-07-09T09:44:12.642-07:002017-07-09T09:44:12.642-07:00Happily, Robin, you are in a growth industry and p...Happily, Robin, you are in a growth industry and probably will be forever. But even with that, the growth will shift over the next decade or so. More and more systems will move to hosted servers. At that point, they can be managed from anywhere. Many of your servers are already VMs, right? <br /><br />Don't take up coal mining or driving a truck.Karl W.

In our hospital system we support 9 separate hospitals with disparate systems. Global we are working to merge them I to one homogenized system everywhere. That takes a lot of time due to budgets, manpower, vendors, and Drs who insist we preserve the buggy whip. With over 15,000 PCs and 2000 WinTel servers, we have no hope of staying current and stable. We have chosen stable. My current laptop is still w7 because they have not vetted all compatability issues for applications beyond that. We are still building 2012 servers. It's not that we don't want as much as we can't push as hard as IT wants to go because in the end, the users pay the bills. One department was tagged with a bill for over $300,000 on top of what their application vendor charged to upgrade their servers to get off w2k3. Our IT a decade behind the rest of the world, but we know that soon we will have to move to Windows 10.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00659127651482632605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22311364.post-55303612653865578112017-07-03T10:42:43.579-07:002017-07-03T10:42:43.579-07:00Thanks, D.

I am a big Train fan and I find myself referring to the transition the Railroads made from Steam to Diesel (here is a good article: http://www.saturdayeveningpost.com/2013/05/11/history/post-perspective/locomotive-diesel-engine.html) to describe how many jobs are lost when an entire industry changes like is happening now with several industies. Sure it won't happen overnight, however, it will happen and soon a generation will only look back on it as history till the next great advancement.Dgilliganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06795911567093625784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22311364.post-27796098675649874442017-06-29T09:40:10.432-07:002017-06-29T09:40:10.432-07:00Thanks, Robert.
