"But when this fad finally comes back down to Earth, there will be so many CEO's who got burned that "outsourcing" will be a dirty word for a decade or more."

And the punchline will be when the go to bring the jobs back home, and they find that most of the people who used to work in IT have started new businesses in HVAC, commercial refrigeration, real estate and other, non-hi tech jobs, and that they have zero interest in returning to the IT profession, due to having been so badly treated by the CEO's.

Then they will find that there are no new college grads in the IT field because everyone avoided taking those courses because of the outsourcing trend. Yuk yuk yuk chortle guffaw guffaw.
