Don't worry Angie, Ian and I have been baiting each other for years!

You do web (development|design) don't you? I found it's impossible to
charge correctly (especially round here) because people really don't
understand how much work or expertise there really is in doing it.
They expect far too much for too little money.

No need to duck too much (apart from using the wrong *BSD that is...),
I never really "got" Linux (or rather UNIX) until I learnt OpenBSD
which was in fact due to Ian.
