Yeah, but they might be more willing to pay for your time if it wasn't
$100 an hour !  That's what the president of the U.S. made up until
just a few years ago when it was doubled.

I'm only going to be making about 1/3 of what my time is worth (based
on what I made programming) when I sell my Polymoog Resonator and
Polymoog Coffee Table.  Actually, we'll see about the Coffee Table
since that's being auctioned on ebay and it might go above my starting
price.
