Hey Steve, your example sounds a little far fetced, getting a contract in
one weeks time, yeah sure. Anyway, there are still 400 jobs.

he hooked up with a mutual friend from Delhi. In a about a weeks time he had 
the contract assignment with an Indian consulting company!   I am seeing a lot 
of Indian consulting companies in the NYC region that employee American born 
programmers.

Just not enough of them and so we don't need the damn h1 workers in >the
USA eating up what little jobs there are.
But your point is to re-train. I agree, but not everyone can. Some of us
have families to support.

It's still hard to take the time to retrain when there's still AS/400 jobs
on Dice, Monster, etc...

if staying on the 400 learn sql procedures at every chance you get. That is one 
skill on the 400 that is portable to other platforms.
