Sorry, I divided wrong. For independent contractors the divisor is typically 1000, for full-time staff 2000. So I should have written $60/hour. I was surprised that the survey showed that 60% made less than $60,000. This must be due to outsourcing to India and the fact that top management needs to cheat everyone else to scrape up the dough for their $mega million salaries. ************************************************************************ * ==> QUICK LIST-COMMAND REFERENCE - Put the following commands in <== * ==> the body of an email & send 'em to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <== * Join the list: SUBSCRIBE COMPUTERGUYS-L Your Name * Too much mail?
