You get to a certain position in the organization, you have "people" to deal with those threatening electronic devices.

This age of ascension within the org is usually before your mind is still flexible enough to learn what the youngsters live and breathe from their youth. Besides - you have more important "leadery" things to do. The help will take care of it.

Like "Oddball" when his tank broke down.

I'm a retired Senior Technician/ Program & Project Manager.   From 1983, I was one of the guys maintaining the National Science Foundation - World Wide Web access.   We actually used a breakout box from the MCI facility in Atlanta to play "Hunt the Wumpus" on the Georgia Tech Computer.   As the years went by we were totally immersed eventually in every Layer of the OSI model.

ITT, Sprint, MCI and Verizon spent un-calculable hundreds of thousands of dollars keeping me up to date on new technology.

I'll never forget my first Manager at MCI had been a Marine DI.   He was a manager, not a technician.   Even at MCI there were very few technicians that moved up to the top.   We had one Vice President that had been an Air Force Tech Controller the same as me, but everyone understood that he remembered only enough to get himself in trouble.

I'm impressed by Keane's service record - but I know what I know about organizations.

As do you.
