"Typed" a line of program??? Hell, I've hand-written programs which I then translated to machine code and then entered them into the computer via front-panel switches!

And even back then I knew that programming took more time than the front-office types wanted to believe. My general rule of thumb when talking to contract employers is 250% of my first 'guesstimate'. And I've rarely been wrong!

Even so, had Bookeen concentrated upon delivering what it promised rather than birthing the Opus, we'd have already had the 1.5 version and they'd be well on their way towards the ePub 2.0 version of firmware.
