What superiors really care about is how much it will cost and or will it save the company time/money.  You need to create a formal presentation, Powerpoint will work.  Present all the issues, and the potential issues if software is not kept current.  Also outline the resources that are neccessary to maintain this kind of network and how it would be improved if all software was current.  Lastly, you need to show them a cost justification for the software.  Show them how much time and money it would cost them to have someone physically update all that software and compare it against the price of this software package.

Yes and no, I think it depends on the person just as much as it dose on the job market. Some people even though they are very computer savvy having a IT type job might just drive them crazy. Sometimes it is better to make $40,000 a year and love your job then make $100,000 a year and be miserable.

Excellent field but it is much wider than most people imagine.  You can go the infrastructure route; switches, routers, addressing-think CISCO.  You can study Microsoft, various UNIX varieties (Linux, Solaris, SCO).\nIt takes a lot of study and a desire to constantly upgrade and grow.  You can never sit on your laurels.\nI started in the field about 8 years ago.  I am not a youngster...Dropped in pay initially to the low 40's..Hit 80's last year.  Good luck----Study IPv6.

It depens how "tech" you are. For most people, there is no simple software available (as per my infos). "Tech" guys indeed have access to software which can tell you all what's going on from your PC to the microsoft servers. A sort of spy on the windows activity....

Sorry, love to help, but need more info.\n\nWho is misusing the company computers?  Your staff?  Your coworkers?  Is the company misusing their own computers? \n\nWhat way are the computers being "misused" - harassing people, identify theft, software piracy, etc.??

Over the last decade, my whole career has been affected by computers.  I left my "real" job back in '96 to start an Internet Design company, which everyone told me was insane.  I worked and slaved over it for years, gained lots of clients, respect, awards, an office full of employees and then sold the company 2 years ago for a lot of $$$, and now I work out of my home as a freelancer helping other start-up companies do the same thing. \n\nWhen I was in college in the 80's, I never ever dreamed my life would turn into what it has.

Well .. as a Tech that no longer "Tech's" but is fulltime Internet Business .. I have a couple suggestions.\n\n1. Run a small add in your local paper that you will do in-home preventive maintenance on their PC.  Clean and reseat for a small fee.  You might even get them to run a small article on why it is a good idea for everyone to have PM done on their PC at least once a year.  Then have your ad nearby.\n\n2. Start your own business\n\n3. Go to Freelance.com and see if anything there suits you.\n\n4. Ask the Boss for a raise and give list of reasons why you're such an asset that rates it.

I've always had a reputation for being an IT go-to guy. It's not like I try or anything. Word gets around and I have total strangers asking me all kinds of weird questions. Since I got into web development 10 years ago I now have total strangers asking for web sites. Sheesh!

Well...how pro-active do you consider yourself? it depends a lot! but I'd say check all systems around, check servers status, browse some IT webpages in order to learn more, take a break, go back and keep looking around for new updates, make a list of current software installed on yor servers and PC's on the network then take a chat with someone there at office, NOT CHAT, and so make good friends around that way they'll ask you lots of questions that you'll be able to respond! Combine all this activities all days and or invent new ones, those are just samples, then you'll see how fun is your job!  Bye!

Small business?  IT Manager?  None of the small businesses I know of have an IT Manager.  As a technical consultant, I guess you could say that I act as IT manager for some of my clients.  Probably the biggest issue they face is the learning curve for their applications, because they just need it to work, now, and don't have a lot of time or inclination to sit there and figure it out.  Especially if there are a few employees involved, moving inventory around - those guys have no clue and don't want to be bothered having to sit at a computer.  Something with minimal input required - like bar code readers - would usually be helpful.
