Informix job market?

I've been following the Informix financial situation since the beginning, and have participated in all of the usual chauvinistic "Informix has the best technology" discussions, as I'm sure everyone else in this group has been doing for the last several months. At first, it seemed inconceivable to me that Informix would go down the drains....then it became inconceivable that other companies could just sit back and not snatch up Informix, especially at just over $4 per share. Personally, I wish I had more money, to buy up Informix stock while it's in the basement. I've noticed something, though, that may be important to all of us as Informix professionals. At least in the Dallas area, the number of Informix-related job postings seems to be at an all-time low. Anybody else seen the same thing? It seems like my favorite barometer of the Informix job market, recruiter postings in c.d.i (;-)=> , also seems to be depressed. What's the market looking like in everybody else's areas?
