LT, you said >... the overhead at the San Jose facilities is so prohibited that he wouldn't be surprised to see more of the Storage Ops transistioned over time to lower cost of living regions. I assume you meant 'prohibitive'. If 'overhead' refers to cost of living to the workers, then attracting out-of-area help will be tough, because of housing costs. But the people being laid off have probably lived here for a long time, benefitting from legacy housing costs that can be quite low. I think Fujisawa isn't exactly cheap either. But as a good ex-IBMer I hail all change as the greatest - until the next change. :) Gottfried
