The original version:

     In my experience as a user and a trainer, the learning curve
     often goes something like this:

     Day one:  "What the hell is going on?  Why doesn't anything work
                like I expect?  I hate this damn thing."

     Two days: "Omigawd, the potential is incredible! If only I knew
                how to use it all..."

     Two weeks: "After reading the language guide and trying some
                 things out, I'm able to do truly productive work."

     One month: "Now I can do productive work efficiently."

     Three months: "With the flexibility of the language and the handy
                tools in Revolution, I'm seeing slightly greater
                productivity than in my formerly-favorite tool I'd
                used for years."

     Six months : "I love this thing."

     One year: "I love this thing like no other."
