: Totally agree that computers should be infallible and software should be
: "perfect"....
: but when huge performance trade-offs exist as would be the case of double
: floating point,
: I'd rather be fast rather than "perfect".

: You wouldn't want to experience the combination of BOTH a CPU "hit" and a
: "memory" hit if Omega goes immediately to doubles......everyone would need
: 512k RAM and the new gigahertz CPUs.

: Also, I can't understand why everyone is trading today based on data
20,000
: bars ago anyway ?
: Wow - isn't that stuff ancient history ?
If you use any thing derived from exponential averages, that ancient history

technical analysis that the past repeats itself, so ancient history matters
? :-)
