	Remember that the FST took more than just the development time,
	there was also the need to test it thoroughly. Taking that into
	account, the High Sierra FST required (approximately) 1.5 years
	of manpower: 6 months of development, and 6 months of concurrent
	testing and development (6+6+6 = 18 mos).
