Sounds like a very valid skill to me. I'm doing a bit of Windows desktop support at work and I find that 95% of the time I can get the solution to any problem with google. The thing is the people I'm supporting also have access to google so why can't they find the same answers I do? Instead they do things like when I ask them to download iTunes, flash, or IE8 manage to google and go to spyware sites ( with flashing banner ads ) rather than microsoft, adobe or apple.com . -- Simon Lyall | Very Busy | Web: http://www.darkmere.gen.nz/ "To stay awake all night adds a day to your life" - Stilgar | eMT. _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.lopsa.org https://lists.lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discuss This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
