If you're asking for technical help, please be sure to include all your system info, including operating system, model number, and any other specifics related to the problem. Also please exercise your best judgment when posting in the forums--revealing personal information such as your e-mail address, telephone number, and address is not recommended.
The more things change - the more they stay the same
I think that there will ALWAYS be issues between technical people and non-technical people. There will always be management pushing unrealistic timelines. There will always be people whose need is the MOST IMPORTANT need on the planet.
Perhaps the solution is that we need more tekies in management. As a Director of Software Engineering, I get to sit at the CEO's table & I like to think that I have made some inroads into bridging the gap between IT and management in my organization.
The tension between IT and management is a good thing. It provides the checks and balances on both sides of the fence as well as provides some modest entertainment value if you have a warped enough sense of humor..... "You want what? When???" or my favorite, "What were you smoking when you agreed to provide THIS to the customer???"
Cheers,
