Sounds as if your school is close to the size of mine... In
mine, there are perhaps 3 teachers who really know computers
(I count myself as one).  We are seldom sought after for
help, but only because there is a computer services center
with 2 secretaries and 2 tech support staff onsite.  They
are support for the district (and, btw, that isn't NEARLY
enough folks to do this job).  Prior to this, I was ALWAYS
being sought out to fix something or other; it got to the
point where the computer services director tried to get me
released from my other duties to help out (didn't work, of
course, because the principal saw no reason to release me
since it didn't do anything to help him with HIS problems).
SK>I know that Chuck Beams and some others have said that I'll be

It's tough being honorable, isn't it!?    ;-)
