    Not bad considering that buying the software to DIY can be that much or more.
    You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say will be misquoted, then used against you.

        For the bulletin board

        in waiting room for clients to see those "average" figures of $229 and $ 129!

        Of course I've always thought that I was working for peanuts. It's about time to raise my
        fees to the "cashew" level, but never to the macadamia level.
