flatsville - They will almost be forced into zero-based budgeting will they not? I just wonder what they will do with all those people who have been using those broken applications. Remember a few years back (during Slick Willy's first term) when there was some sort of budget dispute & they shut down the government for a few weeks since there wasn't any money legally authorized...? What happened? You're right... nothing! I've nudged around just a little about this topic inside the Beltway & my questions always go nowhere. My other take on this (the "critical" nature of govt applications) is that [my quote] "Contrary to popular opinion inside the Beltway, writing 300 page memos as a career path is NOT productive work." Just my personal opinion... - David
