As some you already know, I work for a small company (StormId), now normally, this is fine and dandy - I have a good deal of input into what happens here, its' easy to cut through what little red tape there is etc..

A big problem with small companies is the lack of specialists in certain areas, for example we have no DBA and no System Administrator here - they just aren't cost effective in such a small business.

So, when, as happened today, one of the servers gets totally knackered, this is a major problem - this server also happens to run the Exchange server so we have no email provision at the moment!

Anyway, thought I'd have a gripe at my 3 regular readers :-)
