              Within a few years, having a strong technical ability may not be enough to get you a job.
   That's the warning coming from Gartner, Inc., an industry analyst firm. Being a specialist in a specific technology, like Linux, Windows or database administration, isn't going to be enough of a calling card in the not-so-distant job market.
   ''Let's just say it's no longer going to be a question of just having good technical ability -- of having a specialty,'' says Diane Morello vice president of research at Gartner. ''If you're just maintaining a specialization without raising their caliber, it's not going to be enough... Companies will need people who are broader. The people I'm talking about are 'versatilists'.'' 
   [Ed: Apparently, the people at Gartner have nothing better to do that make awful forecasts about the future that rarely come to pass. Here's another one. How many times have you heard a recruiter say your skills were too broad? tadelste]
