Its not dishonesty, but if you charge a decent amount, then make sure you give 
them excelent service. People (ie: clients) are funny like that they prefer to 
pay more if they have some guarentee's of support or just the fact that you'll 
be there next week (always a problem being a lone contractor).

The other point is that people will pay what they think it is worth, if they 
beleive they'll make $30,000 in the first year its a sound investment (im not 
sure how this would be possible but i see people always logged into the one at 
our 24 hour shop).


Anyway has anyone seen the Internet terminals in Bankwest? I was in the West 
Perth branch and it looks like some sort of Linux with Netscape on it. Quite 
nice. Not sure if they just point to a local version of the Bankwest site or 
not. Has anyone seen this anywhere else? Do you know what they are and can do?

Change is inevitable, except from vending machines.
