As soon as I answer their inevitable "How did you come up with that number?"
It's a Catch-22.  Unless SOMEbody is already doing high productivity work, I
can only guess at the productivity I am losing.  Veering wildly back on
topic <screech!> that is one of the reasons Code was not adopted by many SEU
users.  There isn't THAT much productivity gain for the majority of tasks
that SEU users are accustomed to.  So unless there's some intrepid soul in
the organisation willing to unlearn the SEU environment and learn the Code
environment, there's no way to get a real number on just how much time I
*might* save by using Code. Or WDSc instead of JBuilder + HTML editor.  Or a
new PC instead of an older one.

It's the 'good enough' syndrome all over again.
