Re: [CGUYS] old quattro pro

[Alan Warshawer]

The correcvt notation requires a + in front of the first value and an *
to indicate multiplication.  Thus the correct entry would be:  +a15*c20
If dealing in figures it would be:  +5*4

 hi
 i need to multiply two numbers or the contents of two cells using quattro
 pro and i can't seem to do it.

 e.g. i want to multiply (a15)x(c20) or simply even 5x4 and i can't. i can
 add, the '+' works but not 'x'.
 is there something else needed in the command?
 i seem to have misplaced my instruction booklet.

 someone out there must remember how to multiply using old quattro.

Re: [CGUYS] Cable vs DSL ( was Verizon DSL Service Dry Loop)

[Alan Warshawer]

I don't know how far anecdotal evidence can resolve this issue but here is
my experience.

I was a verizon DSL subscriber from the beginning in the Washington DC
area.  I was paying for 3MB, Verizon stated that they could only give me
1.5MB. and my usual experience ( from the Verizon speed test site was .4 to
.8 MB, I rarely got the 1.5 that I was promised and paying for. After many
conversations with various Verizon Tech Support people, I am highly aware
that that DSL speed is highly dependent on distance from the local central
office. Therefore, other people may have a different average speed from
their DSL

When Verizon informed that they were not likely to get higher speed FIOS to
my area in the next 2 years, I switched to Cox Cable.

Cox promised by 5MB and I now actually get from 7MB to 11MB at all times.
(using the same speed test site.)  The speed difference is incredible.

I will add that I found the cost to be slightly less for Cox than Verizon if
you use the bundled service of each

Cox Cable service and system reliability is as good or better.

This report is based on five years of Verizon and four months of Cox Cable.
Maybe after five years of Cox I might have a different opinion.

 All this cable/DSL talk got me wondering: Is DSL any more secure/safer

  I never knock the competition.  All I can say is that in Verizon

  That has been my experience with Verizon DSL.
 
  I'm puzzled why Mike is so anti science. Knowing how something really
  works means that you can figure out how it will work, even under
  conditions that have not yet been experienced. With Mike's observational
  approach the best one can ever say is So far go good. Observation
  brought us astrology, science brought us astronomy. Etc., etc.
 
  I agree with Mike that certain companies tend to underperform and that
  such compalies should be avoided until there is evidence of improvement.
  But that has nothing to do with the choice of DSL vs cable. Such a
  company would be a poor performer regardless of the technology they
  employed.
