If you do a direct conversion, sure, but if you're consulting full-time (which isn't what Rich is doing, I know), you have to factor in additional taxes, insurance, overhead, and non-billable hours, otherwise you'd never actually see a salary of $75k working at $35/hr. Moreover, we're talking about Rich, an expert on this particular subject. I'd expect his time to be worth a premium. -- J. Aaron Farr 馮傑仁 www.cubiclemuses.com
