Ah-hah!

Now *that* has the ring of truth to it. Anyone who has ever been
responsible for the delivery of complex technical projects can relate to
it.

The project doesn't even have to be very techncial for sales people to screw
the pooch.

I once had a sales person promise a client that they could have copies of
their 90-minute video in 60 minutes!!!

Who needs Eintstein's theories on bending time and space when you have sales
people who actually can do it!!??!!

Not a problem, given the proper tools. A high speed duplicator can copy a 90
minute video in far less than 60 minutes.

Yes, but the client wanted them done in our real-time room.

And actually, the Sony "Sprinter" system can duplicate a two-hour movie in
about 72 seconds.

What's wrong with that? Copies can often proceed much faster than
playback.
