Last thing I heard, The Steve was still taking $1/year salary. Not many firms would pay a temporary stand-in at a rate of tens of millions of times the pay. Temps usually get less than their permanent cousins.

Temps make loads more than the permanent workers they fill in for. Agency nurses get around �16/hour, NHS about �9/hour. Office temps (unskilled) about �12/hour, the poor plebs they're filling in for, �6/hour. Tim did pretty well though, getting about $20,000/hour. -- Pd

Tim did well, but although steve only got $1 as salary, he did get $141 million of other money from apple. So he is not really struggling. Although I think he should get out of that game and move into mexican telecoms. -- Woody
