Well, my first reaction was 'WHY?'. But then I realized that was inappropriate. Depending on what you're being asked to do with this monstrosity, I would quote a minimum of $65 per hour, give an estimate of how many hours I would need to work on it, plus 20%, perhaps consider adding in a frame rate of no less than $.75 per frame, and then get half up front. Trust me, I am NOT exaggerating. I've been thru this and have done exactly as I have just described. It has the added benefit of weeding out the riff-raff. HTH. *************************** J.D.
