I remember reading in a collection of Murphy's Law books a "rule of thumb" for estimating how long a project was going to take. When an engineer/programmer gave you a time estimate, you doubled the quantity and increased the time measure to the next higher unit. For example:
"Ten minutes, tops" ==> 20 hours, actual. "12 hours" ==> 24 days "Three weeks" ==> 6 months So, by that rule, Derk's original estimate of "1-2 days" equates to "2-4 weeks". Let us hope that this is one of the few times that Murphy has over- estimated.
