I can not answer your question but I must comment on taking on the role of Sys Admin. I hope I am wrong and your company is different than mine. In doing so you transitioned from contributing profit to being overhead. Sure your colleagues love it on the surface, but when the bonuses go out, you will probably be poorer for it. I know, it happened to me (in another profession).

Is this a press release from the same White House "science"advisors who are pushing "intelligent design" over Darwinism?
