Gene - This is just anecdotal, but I had dinner with some techies from a software class I'm taking, this evening. It turns out that one of the guys installs DSL routers for a living, here in Southern Calif. His company, a small services company, has told all employees there will be no vacation time allowed at Christmas, because they are expecting a lot of business. Lot's of people get PCs apparently for Xmas, and they want DSL running right a way, and they expect to be quite busy. Most of his clients are ISPs. Last year there was lots of overtime during the holidays and they expect the same this year. This guy is an installer, so he doesn't have the big picture at all. But, certainly it's not a negative outlook, Regards, Tom
