Yeah, that's what I figured. All the guys who have been doing Java/PHP  
for years would I guess want a higher rate. I'm not totally against  
all that (heck, it's where I came from) - just as long as they've got  
good practice I guess. Hiring someone of that level is more of a risk  
for a smaller company like mine though.

Yeah - perhaps I should wait a couple months until people start coming  
out of uni. I need people now though - there's a ton of work to do! :-)

Thanks for the comments.
