When I first saw <a href="http://newsinnovation.com/models/" rel="nofollow">Jarvis's business models</a> last November, I nearly cried. I couldn't make heads or tails of his spreadsheets. Also, his models at the time assumed a beat population of 5 million, give or take a mill. He's since scaled things down to a population of 20,000. I'll take another look at them, but there's no guarantee I won't weep again. <em>Update: Can anyone spare a hanky? -- JD (Mar 16, 2010)</em> Thanks for your comment, Ian.
