I agree with 1, 3, 6.

We as IT ppl must change our thought process of how the "end user/customer" is using technology. We must keep them in the front of our minds as we build things as well as plan.

I love doing IT DR work.. its a great example of how things get over looked and why companies need to plan better for the unknown!

Great articles ....
