Alan, my sympathies.  It's especially difficult during the holidays.  I
don't have any warm and fuzzy platitudes to offer you, but I can say that,
at least from my experience, the market is slowly (emphasis on slowly)
starting to pick up.

It's going to be a different market.  End users are going to be pickier
about who they hire and who they contract with.  The days of mass spending
are over.  But if you like computers and are willing to learn some new
technology, I think there will be work available in the coming months.

I know that doesn't help much now when you're between paychecks.  All I can
tell you is that you're not the only one in this position, and that
hopefully this too shall pass.

Joe
