Speaking only for myself here, I must remind you what it is to be young. Money is short and time is plentiful. It makes no sense to count programmer time (eg, my own time) as $30/hr, because no one will pay me $30 an hour to write code (if anyone believes the contrary, please direct me to the employer who will). The economics of a young programmer also include the learning experience that completing or at least attempting a project entails. Joshua -- Joshua Haberman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
