  1. I grovel in shame before thee, my lord.
    Leuke getallen. 2 weken om met 35 mensen 1000 processoren te installeren, sounds about right. Maar hebben ze die 10 weken vóór de wrap bij ingezet OMDAT het over 10 weken moest gewrapped zijn? Of is het 10 weken later al gewrapped geweest OMDAT ze 1000 processoren hebben bijgestoken? Hmmm…
