I don' know nuthin' 'bout working computers, Miss Scarlett--
What an odd claim for someone whose online resume' starts out thusly:
Mike Arms began his professional career as the Senior Industrial Engineer at Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA), working his way through the ranks to be named Assistant to the General Manager in 1989. Arms spent 15 years with TVA. In 1992 he joined Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) as Director of Systems Engineer Division and later became Vice President of Business Development. SAIC is a Fortune 500 Science and Technology company. In 2002, Arms was asked by newly elected Knox County Mayor Mike Ragsdale to serve as Chief of Staff.
Well, in Arms' defense
Well, in Arms' defense (which is a phrase that gives me hives), I spent 1978-1996 in IT at ORAU and TVA (ending up an applications development dept manager with 35 people working for me), and I couldn't get an entry level job now because my skills are too old.
However, I do understand the basics of email, firewalls, etc. I'm sure Arms does too.
