So true, given the choice, the silver lining from 9/11 was one that no one wanted. On the other hand, at that time, the 2257 battle was a blessing in disguise. It caused the DVD companies to start sending out paper work to businesses that they provided product to. Going through the paper work I found out that the model I paid $1000 to was getting $500 from other companies for doing the same work. Guys that I was paying $500 to was getting $200. I now had enough information to lower my talent cost.
