Hilmar,
>>Who knows – Renior may soon receive e-mail advertisements suggesting an “out of Country Company” that can provide programming needs at very good rates. In this case it might be addressed something like: Dear Mr./Mrs./Ms. IT Professional. Nadya, having supplied her name, will receive a more personalized e-mail. I have seen rates of $10 an hour being quoted. Am I being skeptical?

This probably won't make you too happy.. <g>
I know folks who have charged up to US$2,500 per day.
Rates will vary by region in the country. Most
typically (but not guaranteed) fall between US$15.00 to US$150 per hour, depending on skills and experie4nce. Within that range you would more than likely end up at around US$25 to US$75 for full time contractors.
Best,
DD
