RE: AS/400 Consulting/Contract Programming

You're correct.  E-mail, alone, does not work.  I made many phone calls, and
followed up.  Previous clients in Michigan all had projects on hold.  In
fact, I have been in contact with them, recently, and still are in a "hold"
pattern.  I was supposed to start a consulting project at one client second
quarter, then it turned to third quarter.  Now, it won't start until next
year.  They have all had lay-offs.  Rates are also depressed.  I am
certainly not getting full rate, nor expenses.
