The VSM article brings up something I've been hearing a lot lately, that this is a "Down Market" time. Maybe things are different out in the Midwest, but it has definately not been a down-market time for us. Revenues have doubled over the past year (ok, we are a start-up, so that isn't saying as much as if it was MS doubling their revenues, but it ain't too shabby either) and we have more work that we could ever hope to get done. And this is a down market? I don't even want to know what the "up market" looks like, we don't get enough sleep as it is...
