*chuckles*  ya know, that's what the people I work for did, ten years 
ago.   But running it the way they want does not a level playing field 
make.  But nobody ever said business was fair, eh?

When it comes down to it, the only way we don't lose a contract to an 
Indian firm is because we have a client who values having a local 
company do the work.  It costs more on their balance sheet, so it must 
be more than about direct short-term financial cost to them, eh?

We're doing the best we can.  And ironically, it's turning out that our 
best selling point is that we are indeed an American company.
