$200,000 divided by 2,000 man hours = $100 dollars per hour.

That brings up a good point, what is your car worth in just labor costs alone if you were to pay yourself. I know I already have at least 300 hours in mine so thats $30,000 already.

Uh Oh, maybe I led us down the wrong path. Personally I do not want to think of the time I have spent on the two projects I am doing. If we all got together and used our GL time we could have won the X Prize...

And the voice from the other room when I read her the conversation said she "definately did not want to know what my two are worth or cost". What a girl...

Thanks,

Randy
