NYCPHP Meetup

[Phil Powell]

I come as an apparent bargain.  I am waiting for him to come crawling back
after realizing that his alternatives will cost him in the hundreds of
dollars (provided he gets either an out-of-the-box CMS package, PageMaker or
someone to code the multi-file upload against his wishes) and then I can
say, "Oh, no problem, but pro-rated costs for such an architecture will now
cost you $800!"
