I agree with Nic Manfield’s reply to John McGhee’s letter saying anyone with home PC skills has a future in IT (Let experience speak for itself, letters.computing.co.uk).

This is like saying if you drive a car then you can fix it. It shouts so loud the fact that IT managers do not have a clue about real computing, and think using a few computer applications makes the user a competent technician. It does not.
