The Internet is a series of tubes, right?

IT Manager Interview help! Crash course resources and interview tips wanted. I am currently in the interview process with a growing company looking for an IT Manager for a group of ~125 users. While I do have an extensive history of working in IT environments and technology in general, for the past several years I have been in a strictly supervisory role and away from the concerns of a typical modern corporate IT environment.

I have an interview with the IT Manager of the main office scheduled in the next week when he returns from a confrence and I am looking for some online resources or even personal tips and anecdotes about being an IT Manager. I need a refresher course ASAP!

Areas of interest include MacOS, Linux, Windows, Network Security, Virus and threat scanners, WI-FI, Vendors, Vendor negotiation, epic IT triumphs, epic IT fails, IT Support systems such as ticket tracking and system monitoring software recommendations. So, everything and whatever I missed. Am I missing anything?

I'm a mac user at home and have never even touched Windows 7! At my office we're still using XP! Help!
