Ive known that was coming for a long time. Ive always telecommuted. Im surprised it took so long for them to realise that the guy they never saw anyway could be replaced with a guy farther away who would work for way less. Heck almost a decade ago we had our MUD game vastly improved by a russian programmer who only spoke to us in C. We sent him an old modem for free to speed him up and he was thrilled because it represented 6 months pay to him.
But hey, its all trade-off. our geeks get wives.
