IT management joke How many CIOs does it take to screw in a light bulb? • Define light bulb? • Can’t we just move it to the cloud? • You can unscrew a light bulb? • “The change is 90% complete.” • None. “We’ll just tell the users darkness is an enhancement.” • Two, one to screw in the light bulb, and one to watch him to make sure he doesn’t say ‘nipple.’ • It burned out? Are you sure you tried rebooting? • I thought cloud computing made maintenance a thing of the past. The Higher Ed CIO www. blog.thehigheredcio.com
