Okay, I'll spill the beans... my professionally formulated project of Sophistry earned me a total of 150 quid - I thought it would be a nice idea to give Robert van der Veeke some cash for doing the graphics (this came out of the 150 quid) since I was the only one with a "contract". An unprofessionaly formulated project aka the SAM MOD player earned me twice the amount that the professionally formulated project did (IIRC). In both cases it was bugger all - probably equivalent to a wage of about 50 pence an hour. But I was only doing it for the fun of it all, the reward being a massive ego-trip.. ;-) But then that can be achieved by a simple scrolly as well... although a simply scrolly won't always get you the "god of code" status :-) Well, that's my 450 quid's worth....
