When I was younger it would have to be in the 40's.  Now days it's the 50-60
range.  But then again I don't spend my winters up here anymore, so...

'Twas the night before crisis, and all through the house,
 Not a program was working not even a browse.
The programmers were wrung out too mindless to care,
 Knowing chances of cutover hadn't a prayer.
The users were nestled all snug in their beds,
 While visions of inquiries danced in their heads.
When out in the lobby there arose such a clatter,
 I sprang from my tube to see what was the matter.
And what to my wondering eyes should appear,
 But a Super Programmer, oblivious to fear.
More rapid than eagles, his programs they came,
 And he whistled and shouted and called them by name;
On Update!  On Add!  On Inquiry!  On Delete!
 On Batch Jobs!  On Closing!  On Functions Complete!
His eyes were glazed over, his fingers were lean,
 From Weekends and nights in front of a screen.
A wink of his eye, and a twist of his head,
 Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread...
