I don't know if it is just my perception or what, but it seems like I have been seeing more quality Delphi job positions available lately than in a long time. Despite all of the pessimism around here, it looks like others still have faith in it. Good to hear as I recently heard of two reasonably large Delphi shops abandoning Delphi for VS.NET for their next product revisions.

There seem to be a few more popping up Down Under as well. While hardly a boon, the signs are certainly encouraging. -- Cheers, David Clegg dclegg_at_ebetonline_dot_com Vote 1 http://cc.borland.com/codecentral/ccweb.exe/listing?id=21489 Now supports Google Groups searching with Dyna-extend(tm) technology!

Unfortunately I don't wish to out anyone, but the sizes (in coders only) are approximately 15 developer shop and 35 developer shop. Not huge, but decent sizes as far as Delphi shops go. Still not as big as some of the hits we took back in the Enron days.

Jake, I happen to support your efforts to counter dis-information, but that last post was just "bear-baiting" and served no useful purpose other than to inflame.

I would hold you to a higher standard than that. Actually, the purpose was to amuse. But I'll be the first to admit that humor is highly contextual and very subjective, and that what amuses some may indeed inflame others.
