I admit to being curious about the reality check thing...but I suppose that's wrong...

It's never wrong.
Actually, Computerworld.com has a pretty good salary survey. I have used it before to justify salaries.
Mainly it depends on where you are. Regional differences are huge, but then again so are the differing costs of living.
But the salad days are over for IT salaries. We got away with pure murder in the late 90's because there just weren't enough people to fill the jobs. I was giving 10% and 20% raises AND bonuses back then just to keep good people.
Unfortunately, lots of idiots and whackjobs ended up making just obscene money. But that is being squeezed out now, and rightfully so. In the long run it will be healthy.
