MeDroogies,
We are on the wave length after all.

If you look back, I was careful to say specific economic predictions were the goal on the econometric program. (or words close to that) I believe predictions on the general economy are even called economic forecasts. Just like the weather and maybe just as accurate. I am forecasting that we will have cold weather this winter and next summer will sometimes be hot. <G>

Hmmm, economics a "soft" science. That would be an interesting discussion. On a Macro level, I think she is correct. On a micro level, I think it is a hard science. Although my basic economics was based on butter and bullets and the macro micro books came shortly after that. So my definition of macro micro might be warped. I think Managerial Economics is a hard science. That is an area I associate with rightly or wrongly with microeconomics. I'm sure there are other economic areas that are also hard science, but I would have a hard time putting a label on them. For example I think cost accounting is a detail roadmap of how to use economic principles. Now I will shut up before I get boring and obnoxious and have to explain my fuzzy logic. <G>

Good to see CPQ holding above the amateur TA support area.
