One time in 1987 for my own company I worked 8am-2am (2 hour dinner) mon-sat and another 8 on Sunday just to finish a piece of software (Trapeze) over a 4 month period, about 90 hours a week. I got it finished in time to ship it at Macworld. Never did that again. It was brutal, thankful for Jolt cola. Today I laugh after 40 hours and go home. And what does it matter, virtually everything you write disappears. Trapeze was terminated in 1989. I want my time back!
