Tom,
>Part of being a successful consultant is having good clients – those that are honest.
Twice, in all the years I've been doing this I have had what I consider "dream" clients.
One I lost money on but didn't care. It was a silly little 3,000 job that was under no deadline pressure (part of the agreement) and the gal I worked with actually liked to learn so she taught herself how to use the FoxFire! module I had added to the project. Very nice folks.
The second was about 45-50,000 worth of work done on a handshake. Incredible when you think about it. It didn't go as well as the other one but well enough. We had an inside person who poisoned the project out of fear that she would be found out to be an incompetent. We knew that going in and I suspect so did the university, but they wanted to flush her out, I think. *shrug*
Other than that it's been a fairly consistent switch between being a 1009 or a W2.
Best,
DD

Everything I don't understand must be easy!
The difficulty of any task is measured by the capacity of the agent performing the work.
