The average US IT worked also gets paid more dollars than a kiwi one.
Before conversion, do the conversion to US$ and an average kiwi IT
worker probably makes US minimum wage :<

But there are benefits to this country! Don't ask me to list them now,
all this talk of T1's (a 512k is 3-4k (nz$) a _month_ here, and thats if
your luckly enough to live in an area that sells flatrate dedicated
connections), and nice SGI's is clouding my vision.
