Luckily, there were only a couple of slides in the first 1.5 minutes.

The first slide was a reminder that to the outside world all computer people are the same. If you're a programmer, outsiders somehow expect that you'll be able to fix their problems with a word processor, viruses, getting connected to the internet, etc. In reality, we know that there are many different types of computer people.

The next slide lists some of the values that programmers hold. Since the target of this talk is programmers, I'm sure that you can come up with a slew of other goals you have when writing software :-)

The audio picks up on the next slide where I start explaining what system adiministrators goals are when they maintain software in their environment.
