AFAIK, most of that portion of the industry relies on "billable hours" not metrics. But I sit around spinning my thumbs for hours thinking about a problem and not write a single line of code. So does that work any better? That sort of thing makes more money, that's for sure. -- Thomas Hruska CubicleSoft President Ph: 517-803-4197 *NEW* MyTaskFocus 1.1 Get on task.
