It's not that I don't believe in MIPS. It's that I don't believe in the accuracy of said MIPS. I don't trust LSPR because it has missed some steps, and does not measure everything. I don't trust zPCR because: 1. It's based on LSPR (already suspect) 2. It makes linear projections on non-linear functions, such as the MP effect. Unfortunately, acquisitions and software costing is based on this suspect data. And, even worse, it's all we have. - Ted MacNEIL eamacn...@yahoo.ca ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
