We work for local county courts. Their budget this year is zilch. Last year Fed stimulus $$ kept a lot of people on staff instead of letting them go. This year it is going to get very ugly for people in Civil Service. :( No I really was interested in the monthly rate for what you were selling. If we paid for it I would get a developer back because he spends 15% of his time in Net Admin tasks as well as code. My boss is still cheap and is semi proud that he can make a buffalo burp when he grabs a nickle. Now all of those cost savings over the past 15 years has made a pretty good sized outfit. He has 15 people on staff in FT roles and we are considering some contractors at this time as well. -- Stephen Russell Sr. Production Systems Programmer CIMSgts 901.246-0159 cell _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
