This is exactly what I was leading up to some weeks ago. What happens to a former Dell IT manager who loses his job? Where does he find a similar job in or near Austin? Now we know. If he's lucky, he can sell lawn sprinklers. Austin's a great place, don't get me wrong. But the law of gravity still exists, and booms will be followed by busts, and here we have all the ingredients of a Texas-style bust. OK, so, what message does this send to those thousands of college grads who are about to enter the job market, with their degrees in IT or whatever? Yep. The message is, good luck. PB
