Gary, thanks for your post. You brought up some good points. However, KPMG is trying to transition themselves as tech consultants due to their primary market shrinking,Banking. They have been losing customers due to Bank consolidation over the past five years. They are grasping for a solution. They tried to play the "Investment Banker" role when they saw M&A activity picking up a few years back and had no success at all. I do not view KPMG as anything but a free rider. This whole thing may have merits,but I have my doubts. I still think there are better looking bed partners if that is the way "the kid" wants to expand. sawgrass
