How Great to Hear! <cheer cheer cheer> But I wonder how much of that has to do with changing division? OpenEnd (my company) makes bookkeeping systems for Swedish Ideal Societies (closest English words 'non-profits' and 'clubs'). A surprising number of our potential customers are relying on code written more than 20 years ago, by somebody who is no longer part of the Society which used floats for arithmetic. Hard to make the sale when the customer thinks your math is broken. So I am biased, but in my little corner of the world, Float Confusion Reigns Supreme.
