Are you planning on delving deeper than that? Yes, I would go beyond that. I'm not sure how far. I'm just nibbling away at the stats. Most of the time I don't go past stats 101 but if I get a green light I will drill down as far as I have to go. I don't want to start in one program and have to change out and learn another. I would rather start with some excess capacity and never use it. It is always a hard decision whether to do the number crunching inside or outside of AB. I was thinking of manipulating Fdata outside and only working inside if it involves price. It will be interesting to see which software you choose and why. OK OK OK I'll send your bounce bounce bounce back back back. Brian.
