Ed, Your statement is a popularly repeated myth but inaccurate. Coders CAN be found and they will continue to exist. Corporate CIOs like to push the myth because it gets them bigger budgets and vendors like to push the myth because they employ some of the coders. Would you buy a used car from any CIO or most vendors? I wouldn't! This list, for example, has plenty of bench strength to provide an ample supply of such coders for years to come, if not decades. Dice.com is another source, as well as Monster.com and the list goes on and on. -- Tom Schmidt Madison, WI (one such coder who knows of plenty of others out there, lurking.) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
