It's really amazing how much time I have to spend on general network/PC
security/patching, and the trend is only more and more. :(   (and that's
with taking chances with auto-updates on some things...)  Lots of time and
lots of dollars that management doesn't really see what I'm doing, so it's
even hard to justify more dollars on...

I count checking in here and a couple other places) as part of my job these
days, both for the alerts, and for watching general problems and such.  I
like the .hack or .nthelp, but .nthelp does just as well...
