Good guidance, Ned ... but you might check your numbers too. Try
entering 10000*.019% into Google. It comes back with 1.9, as does
MathCAD.


Oops, I just caught myself entering 1e5 instead of 1e4 for 10000,
which makes me nervous wondering when I've made the same mistake.
Hopefully not when I told my wife she can retire when our youngest is
out of college. g
