And the answer is, I don't make an estimate of cost, I quote my hourly rate plus expenses, with a disclaimer that their spec is so vaguely worded that a fixed quote is not possible. Of course my hourly rate is about 5-10 times that of an Indian responding so if these companies are inclined to do that I can't compete. I actually got a phone call the other night from a company in India, quoting me $12 / hour for all kinds of offshoring work. John W. Colby www.ColbyConsulting.com
