"Here is a business of a totally different sort started by a former techie I know."

He's smart. He's getting on with things. Probably grows some dope as well ... . In any event he's taken charge of his life and doing something about the lack of tech jobs now and getting worse.

An acquaintance was telling me that PC Expo was about 1/4 the space. It used to take up all of Jacob Javitz. Also there was a small booth for "jobs". Programmers were offered $5.00 to $7.00 per hour for contract programming jobs. There is no future in this in the U.S.. All the belly aching in the world won't change that.

$5.00 to $7.00 per hour might be good for the retired or for those whose spouse is still working.
