Chill out, dude. Evi turned a one-person operation with a couple of VAXes in the mid-1980's into a large scale incubator and trainer of future sysadmins who are now running sites all over the world. Did she "work a day" at UnixOps or CSops, as they came to be called? Of course not, she was too busy soliciting the funding, wrangling the office & machine room space, and creating the contacts that made it all possible. You don't even know "what it is she is even famous for." In point of fact, Evi wasn't even the intellectual powerhouse behind the books--that would be Trent; her genius was her leadership and ability to inspire her students. "Grandmother of the data center" is an apt-enough title. |
