Thanks, cephran - We're kinda in shock. But we'll get through this. I'm really disappointed about the TTP 'Vous, but I love your idea! That would really be great!
Thanks! These kinds of things often do lead to better things. We're a little worried about the here and now, but feel sure the future will be exciting.
I've never been laid off, but have quit with no plan, and been fired alot. Later looking back it was always the best thing that ever happened. But you have to get into creative survival mode.
