Even with purely technical tasks I've not been the least bit impressed with offshore programmers (basically those on the Indian subcontinent). I've seen some excellent work from eastern europe, and the pacific rim (taiwan, singapore, etc). There seem to be alot of diploma mills in India that are turning out people who are very eager, yet don't have a clue. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Lonni J Friedman [EMAIL PROTECTED] LlamaLand http://netllama.linux-sxs.org _______________________________________________ [email protected] Unsub/Pause/Etc : http://mail.linux-sxs.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/general
