Posted by CmdrTaco on from the and-you-thought-you-had-it-rought dept.

    Nowhere does it say Bill Gates has an entire department to filter his email (though I don't see why he should not, considering he can afford it). It says they have "special technology", and "almost" a whole department (which probably means two or three secretarial types vetting the junk that doesn't get filtered with the "special technology".

    And to all of this, I say "big deal". I would say "nice M$ troll" but it's actually kind of weak.

    I think it's 46 days actually.
    4e6 / 60 = 66.6e3 mins
    66e3 mins / 60 = 1111hrs
    1111hrs / 24 = 46 days.
