[rescue] Do you remember when? Security software.....

[Curtis H. Wilbar Jr.]

AT that point, you take your resume out of their hands... cross off 4, and
hand write in 10.

If anyone ever asks after you get the job, tell them you didn't know they
wanted the answer in cat years, so you had to fix your resume' on the spot.
