Good point, so how many of this generation of software engeneers are going to suggest the study to their children? If Software development is seen as a job for imigrants and cheep labor how many will be spedning 5 years to get that degree? How long will it take before all of the inovation in software is done offshore? Isn't it software and hardware inovation that curently makes our military the strongest? _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
