Anyone who wants to pay $25.00 an hour to a consultant deserves just what they get. I would charge no less than $65.00 an hour for the most basic of things. If you have the skills to be a true consultant you deserve _OVER_ $100.00 an hour. If anyone could do this stuff they wouldn't need you!. I think I'll just go sell cars........................

Seems to be a fair price - sometimes I feel guilty charging that for simple stuff but I can make that same hourly at other customers so I always have to bear that in mind. Craig --__--__--
