2 hours for 4%? no wonder bro was angry.
also I've decided Winston is incredible I had no clue a pigeon could fly 60 miles per hour so consistently (or was it 60 miles of roadway?)

So at their company they say: "This could have been a pigeon." instead of "This could've been an email"

I know this is old, but 1 hour to transfer from the USB to the server? Were they using 1980's computers?
