I happened to be looking at a blog post, Secret tip for Midas users (or wannabes) from five and a half years ago, and was hit by three realizations:
1) People are still regularly buying and using Midas, long after I thought IBM might make it obsolete;
2) People still don't regularly understand and use some of the more powerful Midas chunk definitions; and
3) All three stock market indicies are significantly lower now than then, about 13% down for the Dow Jones and S&P, 6% down for the Nasdaq.
The first is good news, the second simply intriguing to me, and the third downright depressing. Nonetheless, that is the way it is, five and a half years later.
