market continues to dive!

[Marvin GodfatherofSoul Bellamy]

Wow, I can't believe how low the Dow is.  I saw that the bubble would 
burst (probably as any techie knew), and I was laughing my ass off when 
it did.  But, now it's getting scary.  To top it off, all of those 
corporate used-car salemen are finally getting outed for all their dirty 
backroom dealings and ridiculous salaries.  I'm half happy it's 
happening, but at some point this is going to affect me just like a lot 
of others out there. At my sister's wedding last week, an in-law 
approached me about starting a business venture in my home town.  I 
wonder if that's where techies should be looking nowadays, small 
businesses?  I've had some offers come up recently, but that type of 
work seems pretty risky compared to a cushy office job.
