    i don't work in that area but it's an employers market now and you can be certain that a hell of a lot of people will follow those instructions to the letter. for those wages i think it's actually not that bad, 6 hard copies is about 5 mins at the photocopier after all.

    True, but I still think that it's hoops much considering it's primarily a contract role that would pay a little shy of what an average .net/c# contractor would be bringing in.
