can we stop using IT to mean "desktop support"? It's sort of like the Visual Basic of programming. What I mean is, it's quite similar to the debate over job titles "programmer" versus "software engineer". But I guess I'm going against the grain on this one.

Or maybe it all starts here and will snowball and take over.



In my experience, IT includes desktop support. When I was in IT (sys-admin for the company I worked for and did on-site support in data centers for our server / client product for major banks on wall street), I still found myself doing an inordinate amount of desktop support. In many cases one does not exist without the other.
