Heh, only today we had a 'potential customer' who was aghast to learn that 
it would take more than 4 weeks to spec, design, produce, assemble and debug 
a custom PCB *and* associated software with power supply, an ARM processor, 
some flash and ram running uCLinux and serving web pages for a custom 
application talking a proprietory protocol out a bunch of 232/485 ports...

That's at *least* 5 weeks work... ;)
