It's www.systemsguild.com. There's a lot of interesting information there. Our Web site is www.qualityplustech.com. And I'd like you to join in next week, where we'll have an interesting guest, Mr. Jerald Savin, who is the President of the Institute of Management Consultants U.S.A. We'll be talking a little bit about what is the Institute of Management Consultants, for anyone who doesn't know, and what are the opportunities to get a certified management consulting designation? So Tim, do you have any sort of final words you'd like to leave our listeners with?
Tim: Yeah, given the things we've chatted about, I think our industry is going through another stage of growth pains in terms of doing more with less. But on the other hand, the opportunities and the interesting work seems to be more abundant than ever. And you really, as a skilled practitioner, I'm not saying you should jump ship or anything, but you should definitely be able to find a career with a peer group that is exciting and stimulating, and find a culture that you best fit in, and contribute wholeheartedly.
Carol: And I think those are good words. We've heard a lot of positive things about the software industry, and I think this week's show is no exception, that we've got a lot of positivism, if anyone's considering coming into the software industry, I think there's a lot of opportunity, and there's a lot of room for new people, older people, and I think basically, the software industry's one that you can grow up in and kind of stay a kid in some ways.
Tim: And it seems to be regenerating itself. Lots of little startup companies, and yet there are big organizations that have been in system building now for easily 30 plus years. And their technology's moving, so they're regenerating and re-architecting their systems. No one's short of work, let's put it that way. And interesting work.
Carol: And that's good news. I'd like to say thank you for joining us. And please join us next week, when we talk to Jerald Savin, the Institute of Management Consultants' President. Join us next week. Thank you.
