110/hr, assuming you mean US dollars is actually rather cheap. I charged one ex-employer $100/hr to fix a problem (caused by somebody changing something that they didn't understand) back in the 1980s. Of course, telecomuting from your house will cut down on the overhead. Might even buy you a gallon of gas. -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer HealthMarkets Keeping the Promise of Affordable Coverage Administrative Services Group Information Technology The information contained in this e-mail message may be privileged and/or confidential.
