<DIV>GM vs. Microsoft<BR>><BR>> At a recent computer expo (COMDEX), Bill
Gates reportedly compared the<BR>> computer industry with the auto
industry and stated: "If GM had kept up<BR>with<BR>> technology like the
computer industry has, we would all be driving<BR>> twenty-five<BR>>
dollar cars that got 1000 miles to the
gallon."<BR>><BR>> In response to
Bill's comments, General Motors issued a press<BR>>
release Stating: If GM had developed technology like Microsoft,
we<BR>> would all be driving cars with the following
characteristics:<BR>><BR>> 1. For no reason
whatsoever your car would crash twice a
day.<BR>> 2. Every time they repainted the
lines on the road you would have<BR>> to buy a
new car.<BR>> 3. Occasionally your car would
die on the freeway for no reason,<BR>> and you
would just accept this, restart and drive
on.<BR>> 4. Occasionally, executing a maneuver
such as a left turn, would<BR>> cause your car
to shut down and refuse to restart, in which
case<BR>> you would have to reinstall the
engine.<BR>> 5. Only one person at a time could
use the car, unless you bought<BR>>
"Car95" or "CarNT." But then you would have to buy
more seats.<BR>> 6. Macintosh would make a car
that was powered by the sun,<BR>> reliable,
five times as fast, and twice as easy to drive,
but<BR>> would only run on five percent of the
roads.<BR>> 7. The oil, water temperature and
alternator warning lights would<BR>> be
replaced by a single "general car default" warning
light.<BR>> 8. New seats would force everyone
to have the same size butt.<BR>> 9. The airbag
system would say "Are you sure?" before going
off.<BR>> 10. Occasionally for no reason
whatsoever, your car would lock<BR>> you out
and refuse to let you in until you simultaneously
lifted<BR>> the door handle, turned the key,
and grab hold of the radio<BR>>
antenna.<BR>> 11. GM would require all car
buyers to also purchase a deluxe set<BR>> of
Rand McNally road maps (now a GM subsidiary), even
though<BR>> they neither need them nor want
them. Attempting to delete<BR>> this
option would immediately cause the car's performance
to<BR>> diminish by 50% or more.
Moreover, GM would become a target<BR>> for
Investigation by the Justice Department.<BR>>
12. Everytime GM introduced a new model car buyers would have
to<BR>> learn how to drive all over again
because none of the controls<BR>> would operate
in the same manner as the old car.<BR>> 13.
You'd press the "start" button to shut off the engine

Hi all,
It's nice to see people making modifications of the Fear
algorithms to suit their style. That's what trading is all
about.
Basically, the "permission" state Bob mentioned is how I use the
filter. It serves as an indication of whether the market has a
bullish or bearish psychological quality. BTW, you Ellliot fans
out there might want to plug it in with the wave counts. I think
you will find the results interesting. <g>
