Now, I *know* you guys are alright.

Back in the bad old days at Metrowerks we weren't allowed to see the wives until we shipped the Gold Master of CodeWarrior. Much less leave the country ;-) That is unless Berardino Baratta was chasing you.

I remember one time after a particularly long month of 20 hour days he mentioned that we were slipping back the release date to the following week. I was too busy rolling on the floor having a coniption fit, so one of my buddies said "Hey Ber, uh ... we all had plans for Labor Day weekend, seeing family and all?" Ber thought a minute and said, "Tell you what, you work Labor Day weekend, and I'll give you the following weekend off."

(Irony is we ended up working every weekend for the next month anyway.)
