What recession?

Yes, it seems there is more bad economic news every day; but honestly, there really doesn't seem to be a let-up in employers seeking good IT personnel. The word out of Microsoft this past week seemed shocking ... the first major layout in its history. Yet, companies here in good old Abilene (and surroundings) are still recruiting hard and fast for IT folks. Perhaps it is just this part of the country, or maybe it is just smaller, independent businesses. Regardless, there are still jobs to be had. Good jobs. And quite a few of them.
