I would take the 1500 and stipulate that it covers X hrs. Any volume more will be at a rate of N$/hr. On top of that I would have an opportunity for him to get up to latest release for Y$ after the 1500 is paid. The 1500 is only for customer support. I seems that your support contract is set to offset customer support and not new advancements. -- Stephen Russell Sr. Production Systems Programmer CIMSgts 901.246-0159 cell _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
