Must have been phone support for windows home users. <br><br>When I was first tier HPUX/Solaris support at HP in 2001 we got around $28/hr (which was _really_ good for the several bozos in the team who didn't know how to change a password much less build and mount a raid array). Night shift got a bit more. That sucked for first shift who had to clean up after 3rd shift screw-ups.<br>

I got that $12/hr figure from a head hunter back in 2002 who was asking<br>
me to apply for a night job doing phone support for HP. When I replied<br>
that he couldn't get anyone good for even twice that for a day job he<br>
responded that he does get people all the time. To me that explained<br>
why HP phone support first level was so clueless at the time. I'm sure<br>
by now they've raised it to $12.25 or so...<br>
