Same here, esp. the part about "we find 'em, they clean 'em."

- student population is ~10,000
- fac/staff about 2-3,000
- director also can't keep self from trying to do tech stuff ;-)
- 1, soon 3, tech staff

But no grad students.  We get significant help from all areas of the OIT,
especially our Help Desk, departmental IT support personnel, plus some
students out there helping at the front lines of ResNet.
