I've always wanted to thank you for the papers you've written and made available to us about decision making strategies for both xc and racing. I work in a field similar to what you teach so your presentation style works well for me. McCready theory, the Efficient Frontier and Asset Allocation strategies are all very similar within my simple, little brain.

Thanks for making this resource available,

"Just a Little Faster Please"...is one of the finest articles on
flying more efficiently I have read. It really is a must for someones
soaring library. Thanks for putting it together.

Have you tried reading them in OpenOffice, which usually does a good
job of importing "foreign" formats?

OO is available free for Windows and Linux.

And Solaris and Mac OS X abd BSD.... OO rocks! I don't understand why
anybody would actually pay money for MS word/office.

Go to http://openoffice.org

I feel better now :-)

I wouldn't go that far, but it doesn't suck as much as the
alternatives.

I agree wholeheartedly. But most people don't since they either get
MSWorks (!) or MST_rd is on their work machine.

Can't you just click on them and read it in your browser? Works on mine
- Seamonkey. Haven't tried IE.
