Yes Brian, as this matter keep on arising in the list every now and then (but you can also look at how many feedback notes has received my message posted in the Feedback center)... I'm inclined to think that - as you put it - "many still want something else"... that is... there's a part of AB users that don't consider this issue definitively solved. Sorry because you seem to consider this annoying, butÂ…. I'm not the one who keep on starting new threads on the subject. For the rest, I don't think there any reason to repeat what we already said in the thread you linked as we all could agree on just one thing: the "best" software will not the one obliging everyone to use the Markowitz/Vince approach but it is the one which allow both "mathematical and smart programming Brian" and "practical and dumb Angelo" to fulfil their respective needs. Greetings, Angelo.
