There's a *huge* difference between "recovery" and "boom". And frankly. you don't *want* a boom. That's when the economy is expanding very fast. Booms are almost always followed by "busts" because the growth wasn't sustainable (or, all too often, it was effectively a ppyramid scheeme where early adopters made money but later adopters lost big). You want *steady* growth of the economy. Not rapid growth. at least not overly rapid. -- Leonard Erickson (aka shadow) shadow at shadowgard dot com
