Thank you, Dick. Wise words, I know, esp. as they come from experience.

Thanks, Greg. Looks like a reasonably priced and nifty program!

One thing I am amazed at, as I haven't really been a part of any workforce for so many years, except as freelance jewellry designer/maker and writer, the way wages have really not kept up. I KNOW it's not new and I have known this from my family members,etc. but it really struck me when I rememebered I thought nothing of charging $20 per hour for freelance writing in 1985-93 when we lived back East. Now, it seems I may scare them off if I propose that much for the job I am looking at. I think you are right, Dick, I will have to charge them per project, otherwise it won't work for either of us.

Thanks, again, both o'youse,
