>>Now, back to the quote. I used my son's $1.50 solar calculator and found that if the
Dept. of Defense had to fix all 358 million lines of code and the cost was $3 billion,
uh, that works out to roughly $8.39 a line.

I thought you said that it was going to get expensive to fix only those lines of code
that needed fixing and that was going to cost $2.00 a line (once everyone rushes out
to get this done and the prices go way up).<<

I haven't made any personal estimates on costs per line. Those are simply quotes from articles which I cut and pasted. I haven't added any comments approving or disapproving the accuracy of the articles.

P.S. - I enjoyed the World Series. Glad that the Yanks won.
