Dean --

I'm sorry to hear this. Seriously. I'm a contractor ... this scares me.

But ... I'm more into the Windows DNA world, and there's a boatload of work
there.

Come on over. <g> Join the dark side. Bill Gates is your father.

I'll email Off-List.

Peace,

Folks,

I'm not even going to quote a pertinent piece here, as so many were right
and 
so many more were wrong on this subject.  AS/400 consulting and perm work is

in the toilet right now, period.  Don't espouse JAVA to me, I've _GOT_ JAVA 
experience but cannot find work there.  ILE?  Yeah, right.  RPG?  
Fuhgedaboutit.  There _IS_ little to no work to be had for AS/400 
professionals right now -- contract _OR_ perm.
