It would take a few paragraphs to go over everything, but thats mainly what we deal with most.

Its a great job to learn tons of things about all kinds of crap in the IT world, I get so many varied issues I have to solve that its great fun for me, but that means our department has 6 full time guys who have to cover 24/7 year round shifts.

Figure I´ll do this for another few years before settling into our net department (working on CCNA/NP) or maybe just sys admin for our linux/unix department which is sorely needing more people.

Now if we could just get those last 2 screens working, thats being worked on we just have no more outputs for the 2 computers, 1 computer has 8 screen from 2 video cards split into a 3 dvi splitter.
