      It really depends on the size of the computer program. The other day I wrote a small script program to sort out some old chat logs I had and put them in proper folders. That took me about 15mins to write. Watchkeeper (the project I’m working on) is a *huge* program that is made up of thousands of individual programs like the one I wrote and is currently 2 years old. So “How long is a piece of string?”
