Throwing a PDA across your house sounds rather reasonable really. It all depends on the amount of money you spent of course, and if you paid it all already, or what part you paid already ;)
Do not want you to give a URL, but since it sounds like a custom affiliate system, and us being in the affiliate system business, I would like to know if you could share a price of what the project had cost you?
Also, do not forget, the programmer MIGHT have just used PARTS of previously written software. For example a join form, if he already wrote a system requiring one, it would be stupid to rewrite the whole script, unless you think you learned enough to make the new version better/faster. Also, it might just be that the templates look similar and not the scripts themself, IF he writes using templates of course.
I must say I do not fully agree with raymor on the fact that a GOOD programmer would have 80% already written. In my oppinion, far from it. A _GOOD_ programmer would have the honesty to say that he learns new things all the time and advances their skills. Thus they might BASE it on old scripts, but not reuse 100%.
