Your right, and the total number of layoffs are not over yet and thing are not getting better. I continue to hear 10,000 layoff here 15,000 there, this is dis-enchanting. With today, Fujitsu’s 15,000, as well as NEC and other, wow, when are these people going to see a little light of hope. I've friends that were laid off in May, then I was saying “June or July will be better”. Now here in August and Fujitsu's 15,000, NEC and other, we are saying "well maybe in Oct or Nov it will be better”. Meanwhile, my friends that were laid off in May are out of a job with no income, yet the bills are still coming in monthly. Come-on Mr. GreensMan pull us out. "I don't want to be here any more, Mr. GreensMan". Or was that Mr. Wizard". As Tooshay Turtle used to say, “Help me Mr. Wizard, I don’t want to be here any more”. :0( :0( Stan
