[Hidden-tech] Thanks to all those great Web designers - curious about the new generation/work expectations

[Tom Kopec]

Lynn, I'm glad you said it so tactfully..

I (now at 52) have been working with startups for the past ten years, 
getting their products out the door.. all I add is making their ideas 
functional, reliable, desirable, manufacturable, supportable, and 
affordable.  Pretty much what I'd done for corporations for decades before.

baby-boomer != good old bloated hierarchy.. you can find unmotivated, 
underperforming people in every age group.

just my $0.02.
