Recessions will come and go. I'm not much for saas or open source. But I do think managed services will help our company during this slowdown (I think we're already in one). Our offices are in San Diego and we have 32 customers under managed services contracts. Most of those customers have been in business for at least 10 years so they survived the last economic slowdown. Hopefully that means we'll continue to have paying customers whose checks clear on a monthly basis. I think you hit the nail on the head. Recessions will come and go.
