I don't think it's so much of a diminishing talent pool but one that is not
growing as rapidly as industry needs are dictating.  And with general
unemployment so low, and the computer/information industry having greater
needs than the general job market, most PC programmers really don't have to
make migratory moves the way they have in the past.
