I don't know about any of you, but unless you work for a very stupid company, 
it would be outrageous to pay any IT person that kind of money.  Based on 
these rates that >$150,000 a year.  I honestly think not too many CIOs make 
that kind of money.  I found this site more reasonable stating that the 
average salary is around the $60,000/year mark.
