Re: "Webulating" RPG/ programmer tools

[David Morris <dmorris@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Kathleen,

Think about what you are saying.  I doubt your clients cares about your 
financial
return.  Your interest should be aligned with your client's interest.  My 
experience has 
been that the client is always interested in learning about any tool or 
technique that will 
allow them to be more efficient.  In several cases I have been asked to provide 
training 
to staff programmers on the use of these tools.  You are lucky that computing 
is so 
inexpensive today, a well outfitted system will cost under $10,000 and you no 
longer need 
leased lines, controllers, etc.  A self employed mechanic probably needs to 
spend a lot 
more.  These tools also allowed me to work off hours which mutually benefitted 
the client 
and myself.

Well, that's the thing.   I don't see where I will be getting a financial
return by switching to Code 400.  The return would be to the client only,
in terms of increased productivity. Yes, I'm all for increased
productivity. But the fact is that I personally would not see a return.

I'm already billing as many hours as I can while still raising 2 little
kids, if not for them I could work many more, the demand is there!  I don't
need to create it.  I already have a good reputation, I already charge what
I think the market will bear.
So at this point, the only reason to switch would be due to personal
preference.
