Re: Economy Picking Up?

[Michael Oboryshko <obie1121 -at- yahoo -dot- com>]

I am a Wonder Years kid and I have lived through booms and
recessions. During the '80s I worked in the NYC financial
district (think 'Bonfire of the Vanities'), and at the turn of
the century I worked in the dot-com economy through the
boom-and-bust. Somehow I always ended up embedded in these
really cool economic phenomena, like some kind of tech-writing
Forrest Gump.

Now I smell a boom coming again, but for all the wrong reasons. 

<long quasi-political explanation deleted>

I'm expecting a short boom featuring mergers and LBOs, not
technology startups. As an IT tech writer, that means relatively
few software development projects for me. I hope I'm wrong.

I'm a pragmatist though, and I'll take any boom I can get.

Regards,
Mike O.
