What happened to my job!!!

I've been working in IT for about 15 years. At the end of 2006 my company purchased our first BlackBerry for the CEO. Here we are less than two later and about 60% of my job revolves around BlackBerry installs/support. I'm not even sure what I use to do before the CrackBerry epidemic!!! Don't get me wrong the Berry has been good to me, I just can't believe how quickly it has spread through my company.

I worked for a mortgage bank as an Network Engineer 2 years ago.

When I landed their only the IT staff used blackberrys and the BES. Then one day the President of the Company asked for one.

Within 3 months almost all of the 300 loan officers had them.

I think a lot of companies were interested before, but were waiting to see what was going to happen with the patent lawsuit before making the jump to BlackBerry.
