This was the project I just mentioned in an earlier message. 8-) I
worked on it until the 18-hour days put me in the hospital, then
Jonathan rode it through to completion.
Did I mention that the project in question didnt really even start
*development* until the second week of December, and they wanted a
fully-polished "web portal" to advertise $product by 12/31?
