The normal sysadmin job description would apply to the "maintence" portion
of section b.

Sorry.  My take is that the normal duties of a sysadmin would fall
under the "operation of computers" and "repair, or maintenance of
computer hardware and related equipment."

Then again, there was also an "minimum wage" for that exemption, and,
if it's $41 rather than the $27 I remember, you may be covered by
overtime laws.  (I'm over $41/hour, myself, but I'm contract/hourly,
which adds to the confusion.)
