As long as you never ever work out what the hourly rate is!! Then the pay
can look really really bad!

I did that once. On some articles (the ones with a lot of code) I would
have made more money flipping burgers at McDonalds. I have one coming out
in SystemiNetwork's Sept edition where I wrote a whole bunch of code showing
three different ways a Java thick client could interact with RPG on the
server side (i.e. Java Toolbox, SQL External Stored Procs, and XML web
services). Had a ton of fun doing it and learned a lot - which is how I
chalk up most of my writing. Probably spent more than 20 hours putting all
that together... anyways, I digress.

It is nice to know I am not the only writer that feels underpaid! Maybe I
could re-purpose it as a session at a conference in Minneapolis this fall
<hint><hint> :-)

Guess that is why I write articles instead - they pay better than "ask
for a donation" software!
