Around here it is highly unlikely that a janitor would know how to 
program a computer, let alone operate one. This isn't to say people 
around here are stupid or anything. They are just generally 
computer-illiterate.

A bit off-topic, but this reminds me of a guy I worked with at the 
travel nurse agency. The man worked in the 'computer engineering' 
section, along with the manager. His job, as far as I could tell, was to 
keep the computers running smoothly, and to archive lists of available 
or potentially available nurses. Now maybe I'm missing something here, 
but do you really need your own server for that kind of work? Can't you 
do those things with conventional computers and storage? Why did we even 
need a server when there were only about zero or three people making 
travel reservations at any given time? I wonder things these because the 
'computer engineer' seemed very self-important, an active preserver of 
personal job security. He even cast a contentious look one time when I 
helped a lady with her computer's resolution! Odd situation at any rate.
