System admin manages the day to day aspects of computing resources. This includes political aspects of running a system, allocating & policing available resources, and monitoring performance. An operator pushes the buttons and flips the tapes when needed to keep the system running. IMHO. Some places that I have seen treat operators as $4.00/hour flunkies, and I have also seen system administrators in management positions in the $60-$80,000 range. -john- -- =============================================================================== John A.
