We did a line count 3-4 years ago. We had 800K to 1.7M lines per product across five products, with some of the code shared between products, managed by a team of six. We've never placed much stock in lines of code, but it was a metric we needed for an IRS evaluation of our R&D program. They originally wanted a paper listing of everything we'd written over the preceding five year period.

Snicker.

We computed that printing the listing for all of the code would require a fairly standard roll of paper, 40 inches in diameter. It would have taken a little over an hour to print on one of our machines (we make commercial ink-jet printing systems). We were sorely tempted to do it, just so we could deliver this monstrosity to the IRS office. As it was, we delivered a spindle of ~100 DVD's plus a directory listing on paper of each disc which took up an entire case of letter paper. Bastards.
