Of course small team can handle a 3K--if it's the *right* "small team". A
team consisting of a C guru and an Allbase expert is probably not the
optimum for a COBOL shop with a TurboIMAGE-based manufacturing system; the
hottest COBOL coder on the platform is of little use for an operation built
on Transact.

If the project consists of items like the ones suggested, there are a number
of us who could do it; if the "special project" is database and application
analysis to support performance tuning, the picture changes quite a bit.
Thus the "what do you really need?" question.
