Sorry to hear that Steve. Look at it another way - 90% of staff will keep their jobs. If you're a betting man 1-9 odds of keeping your job are pretty safe.

Keep us updated. BTW, I noticed on Wiki the news about C2. Sounds good. :)
Cheers,
Ray, Cheshire.

We're told that our department isn't affected. As we're the most profitable part of the company, you might have expected that, but it still came as a bit of a surprise. And given that it's in the news, you can now work out who I work for, if you hadn't already :)

The end of August date for the 'preview' is looking highly unlikely now, but I'm making good progress.

Shortly after posting my message I saw the BBC1 news. I'm guessing you woek for Fujitsu. They're not part of EDS are they? Anyway, that's excellent news. :D

Bad news followed by good news. No worries. I test fight sim software and the line they use when asked when it will be available is "Quality not calendar". Take your time. :)
Cheers,
Ray, Cheshire.
