I found a great sysadmin on Craigslist ... I now pay a $600/mo retainer to have him on call up to 10 hours/month. I usually don't use all the hours, but sometimes I go over and pay more.

The situation works great for both of us.

I don't think Patrick's model is ideal for sysadmin work (who needs a sysadmin for an entire week?) ... but I think the retainer/on call model could be just as good ... get 10-15 companies paying $500/mo ...

Right now, my print lab will only drop-ship to the US.

I could have orders shipped to me and then I could send them off to other countries but I think that'd be expensive and I'm not sure how long it would take to arrive.

I'll fix that wording in the pricing table, thanks.

If you really think an @cheergram email is better I'll do it
