You think that's bad? The last ISP I worked at, the VP Marketing was over
the technical support department (don't ask me why). She also had the
clout to round up the best technical minds in the company (outside the NOC)
and put them into her pet prestige department (me included). Tried to turn
us into sales support weenies. I put up with that for the four months I
got to work in the NOC, then got the hell out.

Well, probably no web designers in 2060. If you mean a Matrix host
designer, well, they've gotta be part Matrix jock, part architect, part
interior decorator, part landscape designer, and part security expert. I'd
imagine they get paid quite a bit.
