Yes, same sitch.  It sucks.  I got laid off back in May.  One of my former
coworkers and fellow victims just recently got re-employed in a support
role.  I am most likely going to be offered a position on Monday (I can only
be that confident because it's a family connection -- other times I thought
I had a sure thing, they've crapped out), but it's only vaguely related to
what I had been doing (but leads to a question I'm going to post after
this).  I'd give you a line on a job if I had any, and if I weren't looking
for one myself.  Good luck.
