At any rate, Jordan , when > am I going to get paid cause I am working my ass off on a > new video capture driver for FreeBSD -- at any rate, you You already get paid working as a consultant to people who need to have video capture card support for FreeBSD, I'd assume. :-) If you're not already listed on the new consultant's list, perhaps you should submit something for it - I'm certain that there wouldn't be too many others able to cite your degree of experience in the multimedia arena. In any case, I sort of doubt that a support organization would end up paying for much development work of that type anyway - not because it was cheap but because that just wouldn't be part of its core business. The core business of a tech support organization is in documenting and supporting the mainstream product, working more on filing off the rough edges than in taking the technology into bold, new directions! ;-) Besides, it probably couldn't pay your rates. :) Jordan
