Have you ever heard the quaint phrase "Microsoft Minutes"? It comes from the presentation of estimated time until a task, say a large file copy, is complete. You often see it sit at 3 minutes for several minutes; you see it skip backwards even by large amounts; you see it skip forwards even by large amounts; it's all "Microsoft Minutes".
I propose a similar measure "BEA Summers". (Did they say WHICH summer?)
I want to see the results almost as much as those most anxious. But I am not going to break a sweat over it until at least the end of the warm portion of the year in the Northern Hemisphere.
