I really don't see the connection between DISA's 'adequate revenue' and their ability to hire American consultants. DISA (as far as I know) is not outsourcing anyone. In fact, I would say that DISA has nothing to do with the outsourcing issue. Are you suggesting that the cost of software be increased so that the primary producers (American) would be able to hire more Americans? That would guarantee the destruction of the American software industry. (Is that your plan? I see that GEFEG is based in Germany <bg>) Unfortunately? our business is in a constant state of change. If we cannot keep up with those changes and are unable to provide services economically, we will be unemployed. In fact, everything we do here (EDI) is designed to increase business efficiency. That means reduced errors, quicker response and..... lower labour costs. If you really want to increase American employment, eliminate EDI ;-) Earl Wertheimer [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.spe-edi.com ------------------------ Yahoo!
