But as computing evolves, spyware goes away for the time being.

I DO enjoy my free time since I have an 8:30-4:30 job every day anyway, it was easily 2-3 extra hours a day when I ran that ad.

My thing is, I could never afford the toys that I get to play with now. To go from an operating budget of $300k to whatever I could afford would be miserably boring. IT on the corporate side has its bad side, but the funding is a huge bonus (at least at my co.)

For sure, that's if someone wanted to start their own business though. I'm perfectly content with my six weeks vacation they give you here (I CANNOT believe that). Our budget was extra tight this year thanks to the economy, so no replacement computers for anyone the past two years..

We actually get the same amount, it's funny, i've never met anyone else who gets that much. Normally, it's 2-3 weeks at the most. We upgrade machines every 4 years, and we're not due for one of those for another two. Spent mine this year on virtualizing our servers.
