Back in the late 1970's, through the 1980's and the 1990's I was a full fledged geek. I was a codeslinger, proficient in a dozen languages (all obsolete today), and a handful of operating systems (all gone, too).
It was a nice two-decade run.
Alas, it's been nearly ten years since I wrote a serious application program. Technology has passed me by. At best I'm a semi-geek today.
Luckily Scott McPherson continues to be the real deal in IT (Information Technology), as his position as the CIO of the Florida State Legislature attests. Scott is a bona fide expert in all things geeky.
So when Scott warns of the dangers of an IT meltdown in a pandemic (or other crisis), we would do well to listen.

I'd write more, but I'm busy downloading from the net while I still can.
