>> Tools shops<< Not exactly,.... Yes on the automated factories... ????? on PTUS. There is a difference between tool vendors like PTUS, VIAS, and SEEC and the Automated Factories like ALYD and CSGI. I feel that the shortage of resources will force many companies who are currently using tools from vendors, or who plan to buy tools in hopes of addressing some of the problem internally, will realize that they won't be able to keep or hire the needed staff to take on these projects. (if you can't find or afford the staff, there is no need to buy a toolset) As resources are drying up and salaries are on the rise, companies will be forced to turn code over to automated factories. I believe that even some the high flyers, like KEA, will have to wrap their services around the automated factories. Now these same resource shortages and increasing labor costs will effect EVERYONE. So, any company that has a need for staff will be effected. Those have less of a need will have better growth potential. Yes, the next move in the y2k arena, IMO... will be the Automated Factories, but even they have to keep a close eye on the staffing issues.
