Fer, Thanks for the informative GIF which compares the EOT for 1902 and 2098. Two questions: 1. What drawing program did you use to make the GIF. I've been wanting to draw a nice EOT graph for use on my website, but the only drawing program I have requires me to manually input the individual points that make up the curve. Does your drawing software allow the use of equations to automatically draw the desired curve? 2. Eventually, I want to add a page to my website devoted to the EOT. Since the GIF you so graciously provided is so informative, I wonder if I might have your permission to use it on my website? With credit given to you of course.
