Lets talk about IT. No, not it; I want to talk about IT. Information Technology. Otherwise known as the IT department. They are an oft-maligned, ignored and sometimes abused group of people and for those of you who love The IT Crowd, you’ll know what I mean. A collectiion of geeks, stashed away in the [...]
