Many small businesses would like to do e-commerce, but can't afford expensive consultants, expensive hardware, and expensive software tools developed by huge corporations. There is a vast market for web developers who use free software tools like Linux/Apache/PHP, and offer their services to small businesses at modest rates. Look at all the large corporations bleeding money and cutting staff. Mega-corporations are in decline, and their era is ending. Long live the small business! Egan
