Mainly the ones who import from overseas - some are struggling really bad.

It's not going to get better too soon either

Funny you should say that...my clients employ my keen eye for finding typos, just like the one you posted.

Re: Econnomy Pinch

Well actually I had one just yesterday have a whinge saying company XYZ can provide the "same hosting service" for $7/mth (We're charging them $33/mth), and blamed the economy for why they need to save every dollar they can.

I gave up trying to explain after they said "but my new host said they'd be providing exactly the same service". Gave them their FTP details and sure enough a transfer request came through shortly after.

I'll admit that I do have a chuckle when a business turning over XX,XXX/mth says they 'can't afford to pay' $1/day on their website/email.
