Re: Interviewing "under the hood"?

[Sean Brierley <seanb_us -at- yahoo -dot- com>]

Understood.

But, my way I need $2205 worth of software and one
technical writer. No need for a dba or programmer,
etc.

But, my deliverables are small--1200-page printed
books, maybe 1500-topic help files both times two or
three for each project. For 12,000 and 15,000, I'd not
have gone this route for sure.

Cheers,

Sean
