  So I'm not the only one who wonders how we are going to make money on 
  baseball.  Just because we need to go to a better system and respond to
  the corrections this recession demands doesn't mean we ignore the
  difficulties people are going to have.  How do you get the Linux     
  training started on the current budget anyways?  Aren't all these
  guys doing Windows support or is a little restructuring in order?
  Considering the weather in Oregon it doesn't hurt that someone
  pumps your gas.
