Little optimistic! :) Everyone knows that to determine the true time taken
to perform a hardware upgrade is calculated as follows:
1 - Take the number you first thought of and multiply it by any real number
between one and a couple of zillion. (Mathematicians are allowed to and
expected to use imaginary numbers).
2 - Now divide this number by your grandmothers age on the 31st February
1979.
3 - Multiply this by your age in 'dog years' (Red Dwarf viewer's get this)
4 - Next add the ages of all your offspring together (if you no offspring,
use someone else's; just ask before you borrow).
5 - Replace the minutes units with hours.
6 - Take this result and place it in the folder in your mind marked rubbish
and just pluck a number out of the air and curse when you take a couple of
days instead to do the original job.
CAUTION! This formula does not account for the knock-on effects that can
result in problems such as unbootable machines, this is just to get that
shrink-wrap off.
