PACS is a jack-of-all-trades thing.

To keep the thing running, I've got to know a little bit about everything--which I usually learn on-the-fly as situations arise.

I'm trying to fill in any gaps in my knowledge my studying for a certification in my field; but I'm always interested in persepctives from more specialized IT guys.

Oh, and the reason I started this thread was that I was curious if you guys from other industries all get together and share notes on your own message boards. I can see that a few of you do just that.
