If you can figure out how to turn on a computer 2 times out of three, you
can probably get no less than $90K, and it goes *up* from there. :-)

"Low six figures" is a *starting* point if you can do stuff like design
hardware/software for stuff like embedded boxen and graphics apps (from
what I've seen in a casual look at the paper). If you're a contractor,
you can get three figures/hr if you know one end of a keyboard from another.
