    Writing a report on a funded project of ours and I was checking out an "annex" when I came across that number; 3.69122E+12 That is a big number, right? The number is the number of "months into the project" that a delivery has to be met. I'm guessing the word-processor screwed up but I still laughed. Be great if that deliverable really only had to be delivered on month 3.69122E+12 from the start date.

    cheers, Paul M. Watson.

      That's just the project kickoff. This obviously refers to the requirements gathering phase. It would be great if you could charge a daily rate on this one.

            I preferred Mine Sweeper. But yes, in that time even I would have figured solitaire out :D

              sorry that was my estimate. The customer asked for a product. I ask what options, they said "all of them. give us everything." so I estimated it, they read the estimate and gave it to you instead. good luck!!! :)

                Thanks El. Thankfully I'll be so long dead by then I don't need luck or anything else. I can just sit back and say "we are working on it. Delivery in 3.69122E+12 months."

                        :-D That would be awesome. It would have to be quite a wide and powerful countdown clock to handle that number.
