Re: We are Getting There !!

Chuck,

It is a scary thought indeed!  <BTW>I would like to see the line item in the
project plan to wade through all of that paper...At least 6 months to get to
where you could lay it out intelligently in a plan and know what it
involved!  And heaven forbid if they chose to get a head start and download
it via ECS...That could be a month's scope of effort for an ol' B model with
that lightening fast 2400 bps ECS modem !=:-)

Regards,

Mike Shaw
