RE: <<Plugged In: Tough Times in Techland as IT Budgets Snap Shut>>

I believe that DBAlexBrown is wrong. A key part of the economic stimulus package that Washington will implement will include investment tax credit and faster depreciation. Companies will increase IT budgets, video conferencing, etc.

Lawmakers Propose Faster Technology Depreciation
