10 Things IT Groups Need to Know About The End of the World

7. Avoid disruption.
At 5:45 p.m. Saturday, invite all the Christians on staff to pray in a conference room or auditorium. That way you minimize the network and systems disruption, not to mention the drama, when they all vanish.

You could save money (fewer users) and avoid disruptions (missing tech support staff) by waiting until after The Rapture to move to Microsoft's Windows 7 operating system.
3. Block all internal video transmissions and external streaming for 48 hours.
