Well, working on the assumption that the current economic hangover is
largely the result of everyone getting drunk on the internet stuff
... the computing industry cycle has historically been a bunch of
years of growth followed by a few years of downturn and shakeout. I
remember trying to get a job after university in the early 90s in the
US, and things haven't gotten anything like that tough yet.  So my
guess is that things will continue to get worse and stay worse for a
couple of years and then they'll get better.

Of course, I could be wrong and we're gonna be plunged into the Son
of the Great Depression. In which case, it's a good thing I already
have the Hawkwind EMI remasters, since I won't have a job from which
to retire! (Hey, it's a priorities thing :)

Cheers,
Carl
