Personally I don't mind too much about being off topic as it's a natural progression in both real and typed life and it's easy enough to pull back into line if necessary but if it is going to spread into other topics and mess up the whole board I will remove the posts and put them here.
In IT, if I want to understand how TCP/IP works, I consult a university trained Systems Engineer. If I want TCP/IP to work, I consult a TAFE trained Systems Administrator. He can connect up the devices and get them to talk to one another but is at a loss when that doesn't work, whereas the Systems Engineer can figure out the reasons why it isn't working.
If you are a professional IT Systems Engineer why do you need to consult anyone?
Good question BO.

Oh, dearie, dearie, me. I suspect I know a lot more about computers and operating systems than you do, Neferti. I got my first Apple II way back in 1983. I bought an Apple IIe in 1984 and then my first PC in 1987. I could go on boasting but hey, what would be point? Your ideas on how the world of computing works is very different to mine but hey, I'm a professional IT Systems Engineer and you're a?
That was very condescending Brian... She didn't deserve that
She gets what she deserves, Nom.
And, do I deserve to have my thread trashed with off topic crap?

Then you would be foolish, System Engineers like all professional people tend to specialise in particular technologies. I specialise in Unix and Linux with a smattering of Windoze thrown in. Give me a system which is malfunctioning and I will fix it so that it works properly. However, I admit I know very little about databases. I am not a DBA nor have I ever claimed to be one. Unlike Neferti, I know a lot about hardware and software and the interactions between the two. I can script and at a pinch,
I can program. I know all about security and firewalls.
dear Brian,
do you think you could stop boasting especially when this an anonymous forum?
I could say that I had a PhD in computer studies and how could you disprove me?
People can boast with any bullshit here - it doesn't impress me.
You lack a Knight's humility.

Bobby, I am not boasting, I am stating facts.
You can lie as much as you desire, I tell the truth.
dear Brian,
Which is the greatest quality of knighthood?
Bobby.... Why... Just why?

You're the one who posted in this thread something from a completely different thread, Nom, not me.
