I commented that I don't think I could work on a project that had a deadline longer than 1 year, maybe 1.5 years. I use little deadlines, too, and they do help a lot. Except I find myself thinking more about little deadlines during the day or before I head to bed. <BR/><BR/>BTW, thanks for the clip you attached. So that's what MB's been up to.
