That's full time though, right? If you round to 2,000 hours annually that's U.S. $100,000 plus benefits plus bonuses with a Poughkeepsie cost of living, and that's not bad. I think that's a bit higher than for other programming languages (e.g. BASIC), if the compensation surveys I've seen are accurate. - - - - - Timothy F.
