Ellen, although there is some ramp up time involved with switching out programmers it isn't impossible or even difficult. Most of the recent advances in software development have improved this situation greatly. For exmaple, in the day of assembly language programming it was well nigh impossible to get someone on line and productive if they weren't involved with the product from the beginning. Today with things like C++ and java we are in a different world. I came on to a new project 2 months ago that has been running for almost 7 months. With no prior knowledge of the project I have been productively working on some pretty core pieces now for 6 of the 8 weeks. Of course a programmer who wrote the code himself might have been faster because he knew it better, but it is getting easier and easier for someone else to step in and pick things up... especially with coding standards and such that are becoming prevelant in the industry. I was going to send you email but it looks like you don't have your address posted. I think I still have it somewhere but drop me a line if you haven't already read over this message before I edited it! :-)

<<I heartily agree with this. My brother is a programmer and he is the only one who works on the programs he has created.>> Dear Ellen, With all due respects. We are talking about a company with 10 - 15 clients ( CEO said he didnt know exactly how many and its a wide gap bet 10 and 15 ) And plans to grow to 24 mil with at least 71 clients Ellen. I wished ceo was a software guru with 6 engineers and 3 support and 3 sales like YHOO started out. Thats all Ellen. The picture has to fit in some how. Joe
