Thanks, Yes, I'm thinking a least double the salaried rate, though don't think I'll be able to go much beyond $30 to $35 for this contract. That'll be okay if I can keep down the number of uncompensated hours I'll have to put into it. Guess this 6 month contract will be a learning experience for, above all (at least for me), the time management aspects.
