Yeah, I did OK out of Y2K too, a nice little rate rise and a contract extension to make sure I was around. The best programming rates that I've seen first hand have been for Ab Initio, which a little while ago was earning £700+ per day, with £1,000 - £1,500 for those coming directly from the company. Nice. Oh, by the way, I'm trained up in Ab Initio and have used it for a coupe of years if anyone's looking for a contractor! :-) -- Ian M.
