<tt>I would agree with you Darren.<br>
<br>
I think a more likely description for Powerhouse is that it is a
language that is on life support with a DNR order hanging over it's
head.<br>

<div>The word powerhouse certainly isn't dead. On a Dice search
for California I found 11 companies that describe them self's as 'a/the
powerhouse' in their industry. NOT ONE Powerhouse job. I tried a few
other job sites and found ZERO Powerhouse jobs in California or the
local area. I consider this a decent indicator that Powerhouse is DEAD!
Hell, I found one job that mentioned Pascal.</div>

<div>OK. Dead might be a little strong, but it certainly is very
career limiting if one gets stuck doing mostly Powerhouse. I can only
hope that most Powerhouse programmers have also been working with other
technologies extensively enough to allow them flexibility in moving on.
If not, get started TODAY!</div>
