Default Re: LetYouDown or Aaron does this look correct to you?

This was a great example of how NOT to use computer technology. Always do a hand calculation first, at least to get a reasonable idea of where the answer should be, and just use the computer to nail down the last tenth of a percent or so. Any other use of the computer, and you might as well get your answer from a random number generator, as that is invariably what you will be producing. In this case, there was no reason to use the computer at all as a hand calculation could easily compute the exact answer.
