I can also walk on water and charge only $780/hour.  As it happens, I have 
used FM since v. 3.0 on Sun OpenLook, Solaris, HP-UX, Macintosh, and 
Windows, wrote UNIX scripts to capture and automatically size screen 
shots, have about 30 FM plug-ins, including IXgen, IndexRef, etc., and 
have used mif2go to generate online help and HTML. But if you imagine that 
I or anyone else with similar skills are slaveys that can be turned on and 
off like a tap, you are making a big mistake.  You truly deserve anybody 
who goes to work for you on the conditions you propose.  Ever consider 
that people might be doing some other work for someone else in the 10-15 
hours per week beyond your 30 hours?  Are they going to drop that and come 
in whenever at your whim?  Get real.
