EDS always used to do a good job years ago(I know), why do you think they grew into such a large company? What is different about EDS now, esp since there is such a large pool of unemployed and extremely talented american computer people out there who are willing to work their tails off?

Electronic Data Systems Corp., the world's second-largest seller of computer services, will eliminate an additional 2,500 jobs after the company had a third- quarter loss as sales declined 2 percent. The net loss was $600,000, or less than a penny per share, compared with a profit of $86 million, or 18 cents, a year earlier, the Plano, Texas-based company said. Revenue fell to $5.24 billion from $5.33 billion. The latest job cuts would be about 1.9 percent of the company's 135,000 staff at the end of September. They are in addition to 2,700 firings announced in June by Chief Executive Michael Jordan. He also has announced plans to sell businesses to raise cash and reduce debt.
