Oh ... Okay - I am speaking as if we're all independent contractors developing new applications for 'our' clients. Rarely do I have the good fortune to do bench programming or maintenance through staffing firms.

But I do get work with big companies. Some of the stuff has a potential market. Most of it,however, is to vertical to pitch in Peoria!
