Okay, off-topic again but I'm curious. I think $200 is quite a bit of money (although my last phone was $300, which is really quite a bit). What kind of income could I expect if I was working in the Philippines? If I got a "real job" here in the US, I would likely be making about US$100,000/year, based on what others that I know are making. That's the high-side of average, which seems to be around $60,000-$70,000. I'm not asking for everybody to reveal their salary, just some averages as I have above. Note that I'm not making $100K/year yet, but I'm working there. Michael -- Michael Darrin Chaney [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.michaelchaney.com/ _ Philippine Linux Users Group.
