Question: what kind of people are actually considering working for such 
rates? How much experience do they have?

I know several people (including myself) who can do most any VisualAge 
Smalltalk work, and do it well, but their rates are twice or three times 
that.

Many of them (including myself) will work for free on fun projects too. 
Perhaps that's why we need the higher rates for commercial work ;-).

Cheers,

Peter
