She don't make no sense at all...

Ofercryinoutloud... so... y'all get viruses takin' ya down every now and then?

Sheesh... toss 'er these apples:

-- We haven't had a virus interfere with daily business for three years. There are four levels of anti-virus here. Internet smtp server, internal smtp server, office exchange server, user computer, and file server. OK, that's five. I counted wrong.

-- Every one of my 25 locations has two internet connections to two different providers on a load balancing and hot-failover basis.

-- Each wide-area connection is fully meshed to at least two and usually three other offices.

-- All of this is happening for less money than our whole networking cost of four years ago, when we started the project to move away from leased lines and traditional frame-relay.

Tell her: so there. phhhffffftttt. :-)

Honey, haven't you learned by now that there are some wimmin that you just can't tell anything?

or, you can tell 'em... but they'll never hear it?

This is why my friend Jim was off in Colorado interviewing for a new job while on Spring Break. Jim is responsible for all our IT. But, this lady is his boss. He has to deal with her on a daily basis! I feel for him!

Anyway, while Jim was on Spring Break his boss decided she was going to "fix" something or other that she'd been telling Jim to do. He had refused telling her it would take down our already shaky systems. She did it anyway. We are still recovering.

Jim took an extra week of vacation after Spring Break too. Just got back last Friday. He had borrowed my kayak and stopped by here to return it Friday afternoon. I got to be the one to tell him about the problem. LOL And find out that his job interview in Co. Springs went quite nicely. With him gone, we will be in *real* trouble!

Oh, Master Mariner, you rock!

That's how a network infrastructure is designed!

<sigh> I spent all day today explaining to people that: yes, you need virus protection; yes, you need it all the time; yes, you need it every day; yes, you need virus protection, you need a firewall, you need an adware scrubber. Doesn't matter how new the machine is, how long you spent on line, what websites you surfed.

And they don't like my answer!
