She does address organizing wrt to technology, but I found that
section of this book of hers to be a little, er, naive, for lack
of a better term, on the topic.  More oriented to the person who
has to deal with technology--not really looking at the problems
of ubergeeks and their uber-volumes of information.

Hmmm...maybe I will have to offer my consulting services to her
in this area. ;-)  Sounds like a business opportunity.
