Booth,

I'm not going to answer that directly. I'd be accused of being negative by
the irrationally exuberant.

RATHER, I would refer you to your Local User Group's Board of Directors...
You're an ex-LUG Director, you should know enough people and as I recall,
you're still on the interlug. Ask away... Also, I would review the want
ads, both print and internet...and I'd ask your favorite headhunters...
But, I would TOTALLY AVOID AND IGNORE all the pom-pom'ers and irrationally
exuberant, and go to those that really understand the current market
demographics and dynamics and trends.

Don in DC

I sure wish we had some sort of facts though. Is our platform dying?
Or is that just the same rumor from the 1980s, and 1990s, coming around
again?

that the 10-character names were never extended and move on to some
other issues to harp nauseatingly. Or perhaps one day Steve can either
abstain from espousing repeatedly, and ever so redundantly, about
generally trifling matters, or do something other than whine and pine on
a public forum instead of finding and using a legitimate avenue to
effect change.
