The problem with this kind of thinking is that *every* company is a *money* company. :-) The engineers and developers are only there to make money for the accountants to account for. My rule of thumb is to avoid companies not being run by the person/people who founded the company. Once the boss retires and passes it on to the head bean counters, it invariably goes downhill. -- Darren New San Diego, CA, USA (PST).
