That's been the history of computing since IBM. Nothing lasts forever; IBM is nowhere near the dominant player it used to be. Eventually something will supplany MSFT and yes, even Google will fade eventually. The key is to find something you enjoy, find a niche in which you can enjoy it profitably, and go for it. There's no use bemoaning the situation when your niche disappears. You just have to find a new one. Regards, David.
