Remember that Joe Sixpack's IT Dept may not be available past 9:30PM
because it's a school night....
Yes, in large organizations, it's the IT Dept's problem. However, I'm
fairly sure that the vast majority of PC's are home/SOHO/small company
boxes that don't have an IT Dept. I know for a fact that a music store
I do a lot of business with had their computer (singular) set up by a
college kid who got paid in guitar gear and then split town. It's worked
for 4 years, and the store owner figures it will cost him another guitar
to get it fixed if it ever breaks. :)
