Good points and a good starting place to think about what you want to accomplish with a bonus.
Hey - if you are going to give them a bone, you might as well treat them like you are Pavlov too. Let them know exactly what you liked about their performance and then set them up on how you want them to do even better next year.
Just in case you missed this excellent post by Hemos last evening here it is again: Posted by Hemos. http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/01/08/213625 4&mode=thread&tid=98 It's "a good article that describes how we, the consumers, can play the role of competitors to the vendors of products and services we buy. The author draws a parallel between FedEx's ZapMail failure and current situation with VoIP and WiFi in regard to the phone companies." I agree with the article. The jist is: you don't see anyone replacing digital phones with analog. Instead we are buying WI-Fi and 802.11 etc. and using VOIP to ease the use/spread of our digital materials. If we all buy enough of these network enhancers we just might be able to do away with outragous telephone bills from the Baby Bells.
I agree with Mactari's general points. I would also add that it's easier to get a business going on the side first and then when you have some cash flow, then make the jump to full time work. Theoretically you could make your company, work on the weekends, find contracts, and still keep your day job - just hire some independents to do work for you. When you have enough and less worry, you can jump too.
In my opinion the only reason we got the attention of Senate Judiciary Committee is because of the fax campaign started yesterday at http://www.digitalconsumer.org to tie up the fax machines at congressional offices and get consumer attention on this important issue.
We got their attention - let's keep up the pressure. Spread the word! Spread the -. story, spread the Digital Consumer link!

I can say it again for everyone: Google.com I took a quick look after typing in High School online and found class.com
