I really have to say that these days the almighty dollar seems to win all
the arguements.
I don't know that either is prepared to spend the bucks these days.
IBM is offloading jobs to cheaper locales, and customers are voting with
their feet.

I'd love to keep doing this job, and preferably earn oodles of money doing
it.
But the pond is shrinking all the time.
