>> Yes, we do not need too many programmers in the future. << No, we will need programmers, but they won't be paid as much. Today they're like "the wizard of oz," as in "oh, isn't that amazing?" When people figure out that most computer programming is organization and tedium and not so much brilliance, most programmers will lose their current status as magicians. Also, I have heard that MSFT is building a programming plant in India. Perhaps they will get so tired of all of the regulatory crap in the US that they will move offshore. Once the bogus copyright laws are discarded, everything will be up for grabs because the (historically anomalous) business model which MSFT enjoys today will no longer be valid. I hope you MSFT shareholders know what you're doing. The past isn't always the future. Let's just wait and see. FWIW Andy
