Huh? $75/hour? I'm paid way less than that. Our customers do pay $100 and up per hour. /me should look for a better free software job.

I said "Costing $75/hour" not "getting paid $75/hour". There is a big difference. Maybe $75 is high. Whatever the number, someone who has actual skills is going to be far more expensive than someone who knows how to read a script.
