57. What year did IT paranoia set in?

Michael (the great bearded) McClure and I had a talk of sorts on Dissecting Popular IT Nerds…
We also talked about what other IT Directors actually do for fun
Like Snowmobiling and freezing icicles off one’s beard, aka “beardicles”
Some of the show highlights:

• A Gateway 286 & Network Card
• Why is nothing breaking
• Millennials want it to work easy like Siri
• Embrace the challenge release the stress
• What’s easy is hard
• What year did paranoia set in
• How to sell to upper management with only a little bit of fear.
