Folks,
I just discovered the secret of my failed business plan:
"Make stuff people want, rather than trying to make
people want your stuff."
So, here is a question. What do you want? What do you need? I'm looking
for ideas. :-)
Cheers,
David

One thing that I would find super handy is a program that makes a best fit line (like http://www.idlcoyote.com/gallery/scatter_plot_2d.png), but is general in that it works with the MPFIT functions (and with auto- and cross-correlation).
Not sure if this falls into your new business strategy, though...
