[QUOTE="ImpactedTSG, post: 290684, member: 4855"] You are 100% wrong. Ask the 20+ techs in our district that were told after a certain date they would no longer have a job. That sounds like a layoff to me. Come on. Most people under 30 have grown up with computers, so unplugging a broken one with a new one is easy for them. They will come pre-configured and will be configured through network managment software like SCCM 2007 (you geeks will know what I am talking about). Not with electronic inventory. There are so many automated inventory systems out there that replace paying someone $20 per hour to write down serial numbers. There will not be outsourcing due to the nature of the proprietary UPS systems, but a lot more will be done remotely and new technologies like Ardence, Citrix, etc will be used to deploy on-demand operating systems eliminating the need for on-site techs. All the user will have to do is reboot and the OS will load as it boots, all controlled from one central location. Think this is all pie in the sky non-sense. Check back in five years and see how correct I am. I see all these technologies on a daily basis. It's only a matter of time before the big brown machine discovers them as well. [/QUOTE]
