I am hungry for those numbers. You can't just keep them to yourself - gawd - what, do you think this is *your* business or something? I have damn near warn out my F5 key trying to get an update on your progress. Good luck on your deliverables for your day job. I had a phase of a contract finish today too, and I was up until 4am Sunday night making sure it did, in fact, finish today. You think programmers will ever work it out to the point where we won't have to stress and avoid sleep? Thank you – I was starting to get worried.
