Hi Maurice, *Whining by American programmers ?* LOL...That's hardly the point now is it. It's more about a *massive redistribution of wealth and privilege* from the developed world to the rest of mankind. It won't be just programmers crying soon. Of course people are scared and angry. At the end of the game (unless we come up with a mandatory altruism pill) I think wealth concentration will be far worse than today. Of course I'm speaking from the 'priviliged' point of view and I'm relatively prepared. (I hope). Technologically induced productivity enhancements (wow what a mouthful) are already making people redundant here. Hey, this cowboy coder can already do the work of half a dozen or more 80's vintage programmers of which I am one. Interestingly I make much better coin designing and consulting ....any yahoo can (well almost) sling code with a good spec. As an aside there are sooo many ads here for IT job courses and training (not cheap) a la.. Database managers, Network specialists, programmers.... Where will they all go ? What will they all do ? Beats me... Mind you I'm making no value judgements here, I'm too busy making like a boyscout....be prepared. regards Kastel a Cute and Cuddly Canadian cowboy coder.... BTW there is one type of KIWI wine available in my neck of the woods. It's cheap and my wife loves it ;0). Some globalisation is good ;o)
