Well, anything less than $10K a year isn't even really worth the
effort - you can buy maybe a couple of development systems for that
and have enough left over to pay the tax accountant at the end of the
year, but that's it.  I'd rather run it on a shoestring if we're
at that scale.

$30K and you're talking enough float to push all the really egregious
bookkeeping / fund raising tasks onto a part-time employee or a small
firm.

$100K is about where I start becoming interested in devoting more time
to personally overseeing such a thing since I can now actually think
about hiring a college student or two (or maybe even one really good
hacker who made enough on the stock market that now all he really
wants is a non-insulting salary doing something he likes).

Up around $300K - $1M would be about the time I'd start thinking about
a small office someplace and our own T1 line. :-)
