          A "solution" to make your days atleast bit less horrible, is to make money with sponsors that bill and payout in euros, like http://www.payserve.com. Then invest those hard-earned euros into content, scripts and whatnot which you pay with USD..

          The day CCBill allows me to set my subscription feees in euros I'll be a happy camper (not just USD converted to euro, but set my subscription fees in euros which is then converted to USD)
          ..and I'm off.

              I'm in the services part of the industry, billing mainly US clients.
              So I just have to take it.

                      I'm gonna start charging for coding in Euros, because this is ridiculous...

                        Sheesh... if I was still coding that sure would not be valued in dollar terms, least as they currently are, and probably will be for the next ten years. That would barely keep me stocked in cigars (the programmers pacifier and how to create a brown sheen over a screen *lol*).

                        OK.. ya may be in the "support end" of the industry, but that never did mean there is an obligation to price in dollars. Is there a reason to put the same amount of effort into clients who are not profitable at a bottom line?
