Hi everyone:
I ran across an interesting article about contracting while browsing an e-zine the other
day. Although it features contractors (tech writers as well as programmers) in the
Silicon Valley, it has a lot of info about the pros and cons of the freelancing in light
of a two-year-old court ruling against Microsoft. "This Nerd for Hire" can be found at
