        Ask Northernlad. I believe he has a screensaver that you can type your rate into and when you come back from having a crap you can see how much you just made.
        What happens in General, stays in General.
        You know what they say about assumptions!

          You really ought to be able to do those sort of sums in your head.
          While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

            Maths not your strong point?
            Divide your hourly rate by 60.
            Just saying like.

            where there's chaos, there's cash !

            I could agree with you, but then we would both be wrong!

                I remember in the dmi and distant past that someone on here actually coded up a widget to do just that, but I forget who it was now.


                edit : Not the one I was thinking off but this will do the job.

                    I use an iPhone app called iCostYou. I set it going at the beginning of any meeting that has the potential to bore me tulipless, which is most of them.
