...What would be the motivation(s) for hacking Apache, anyway? It's not like it's Citibank.
Indeed. Unlike Citibank, the Apache Foundation is solvent, and has not burned through billions of taxpayer's dollars.

a little bit of comm networking and boom you can easily have people joining up into road trains,
10-4 Good Buddy, Looks like we got us a Convoy.
If they didn't, your TV and radio would be plastic boxes made to look like wood and your car would be a station wagon with wood panels on the side.
On the other hand, my TV is not an enormous picture tube in a 'space-age' frame
My car has no tail fins or torpedo-like bumpers or gas turbine engine....but it is sort of a station wagon (OK, it's a hatchback) with some swoopy bits of bodywork (Spoiler, diffuser, slippery shape based on aerodynamic engineering instead of fantasy, with a front end designed to protect struck pedetrians, and not impale them) a really exotic powerplant (DOHC fuel injected Turbocharged engine made of alloys and plastics)...
but it still runs on gasoline and it does not fly.

Folks who use suites for meetings, with a few odd products on display (ie. those who might not have had a booth in the first place), have not been hassled.

Getting prospective customers drunk is a time-honored selling technique.
We won't even start on the (nudge-nudge, wink-wink) 'hostesses' that will help important prospects feel more comfortable.
It really depends on the situation.
If The New Manager is intent on making their fast-track bones by shaking things up, the entire tech level may soon be outsourced.
What is important is what you want.
Do you want to give management a try?
Do you want to learn The New Manager's style of managing?
Have you ever thought 'if I were running things we would not be doing X, we would do Y'?
I suggest you give it a shot, maybe you will like it.
If you turn it down, be sure to give The New Manager every reason to know that you are just too darn essential in the tech role to be moved out of it.
Either way: Get your resume out there, and start actively looking for a new job.
Good Luck!
Raise your hand if you remember when putting "NO CARRIER" in a post was considered Rude as it could make some terminal emulators think the modem had dropped the call.
OK, get your health care aid to help you raise your hand.
Now all of you kids get off my lawn!
Had it swallowed, it would not have dropped the baguette, now would it?
It would still drop the baguette, but a bit later on, and in a different form. Probably on a freshly-washed car.
With your bare hands?!?
