We have a few reservations about some features of the model but would like to discuss it internally and make the improvements without giving the benefit of our insights to the consultant. In general, the model is not unreasonable but the devil is always in the details and in the inputs and calibration. The same model may produce drastically different results depending on the quality of inputs. 2. We don't have a separate pool of programmers in the Research Group. We were told that you would provide an IT resource. Alex would supervise this person. Vince
