Ya know, my experience had always been the complete opposite than the horror you talked about... I too had always got by with a handshake.... Then I decided to "get official" and I bought Whil's Software Developers Guide (recommended!!) and used some of the templates for drawing up a contract with a client. Everything looked good to me so I sent them the document, not realizing that the office manager, who was generally pretty worthless to begin with, happened to be a paralegal and wanted to show off... We spent weeks going back and forth over the contract - I'll bet I had at least 50 hours tied up with that thing.... And in the end I never did the work anyways... they wanted to change a program and didn't have the source code, and I managed to decompile it and it was a mess, told them how much it would take to clean it up and make the changes they wanted... They said no thanks and I was glad to get rid of them....
