RE: Hmmmm.....$1 Billion

I've been doing this for over 30 years now, and I still think things
through in terms of the cycle before I touch the keyboard. If it ain't
broke, don't fix it.

I will now show my ignorance (like you proclaimed a couple of posts ago
<g>)
as well:

1) I too wonder why The Cycle is never compared to being event driven in
style.

2) I once compared The Cycle to SQL set-at-a-time updating in this forum,
wondering why SQL was so acceptable for this, yet The Cycle was considered
anathema. No response.
