..^U:CBM. D E C I S I O N M A K E R.. BY DAVID LEITHAUSER.. FROM C OMMODORE MAGAZINE, MARCH 1989.. DAVI D LEITHAUSER'S DECISION-.MAKING PROGRAM IS NOTHING AT ALL LIKE.THE RANDOM 8-BALL EMULATORS WE HAVE.ALL SEEN IN THE PAST. DECISION MAKER.MAKES A REASONABLE DECI SION BASED.UPON OPTIONS AND VALUES THAT YOU.INPUT. BURSTING WITH USER.INTERACTI VITY, THE PROGRAM ASKS YOU.TO LIST THE C RITERIA RELEVANT TO.MAKING THE DECISION AND THEN ASKS.LOGICAL QUESTIONS TO MEASU RE HOW EACH.ALTERNATIVE YOU'VE ENTERED S TACKS UP.AGAINST THE CRITERIA... DECI SION MAKER TAKES YOU BY THE.HAND AND HEL PS YOU MAKE THOSE MIND-.WRENCHING DECISI ONS THROUGH A PROCESS.OF ELIMINATION AND MERIT. IT FIRST.ASKS YOU HOW MANY CHOI CES THERE ARE..THEN IT ASKS THE CRITERIA THAT THE.DECISION WILL BE MADE UPON. N EXT IT.ASKS WHICH CRITERION IS MOST.IMPO RTANT. FROM THERE IT ASKS HOW THE.OTHER CRITERIA STACK UP AGAINST THE.MOST IMPO RTANT ONE. FINALLY YOU ARE.TO JUDGE ON A SCALE FROM 1 TO 10 HOW.WELL EACH CHOIC E MERITS AGAINST EACH.CRITERION. ONCE E VERYTHING IS TYPED.IN, DECISION MAKER TA BULATES YOUR.THOUGHTS.... I'VE BEEN H AVING A TOUGH TIME.COMING UP WITH A TITL E FOR MY EPIC.NOVEL. THANKS TO DECISION MAKER, I.WAS ABLE TO RATIONALLY CHOOSE FROM.TEN PROSPECTIVE TITLES WHILE JUDGIN G.THE VALUES THAT EACH TITLE HELD FOR.TW ENTY DIFFERENT CRITERIA... NOW THAT I 'VE USED DECISION MAKER.I'M SERIOUSLY RE CONSIDERING MY.TENTATIVE TITLE OF NIGHTW ALKER AND.LEANING MORE TOWARD EYES IN DA RKNESS..BUT BEWARE! IF YOU HAVE TEN CHO ICES.AND TEN CRITERIA, YOU WILL ANSWER A T.LEAST 100 QUESTIONS -- BESIDES THE.INI TIAL SETTING UP OF THE PROGRAM. I.ENDED UP ANSWERING ABOUT 220.QUESTIONS, BUT I T WAS INTERESTING TO.SEE MYSELF MAKING T HIS DECISION... OF COURSE WISDOM SEEK S MANY.COUNSELORS SO I WOULDN'T BET THE FARM.ON THE ADVICE OF ANY ONE ENTITY OR. COMPUTER. HOWEVER, DECISION MAKER IS.A GOOD BUDDY TO HAVE IF YOU HAVE THE.TIME, PATIENCE AND HONESTY TO HELP IT.COME UP WITH AN ACCURATE DECISION... WHY WOU LD HONESTY BE NEEDED IN.ORDER TO MAKE A DECISION? WELL, I.NOTICED THAT I WANTED TO GIVE HIGHER.SCORES TO THE CHOICES TH AT I PREFERRED.WHILE GIVING LOWER SCORES TO THE ONES.THAT DIDN'T APPEAL TO ME. HOWEVER,.THIS DOESN'T MAKE FOR AN ACCURA TE.DECISION. I FOUND MYSELF POLICING MY .EVERY ANSWER.... DECISION MAKER IS N OT MAGIC..IT'S ALL NUMBERS, ALL MATH. I HAVE.TO ADMIT, I WASN'T INTERESTED IN I T.AT ALL WHEN I FIRST SAW IT, BUT NOW.I' M IMPRESSED. SOMETIMES THERE ARE.JUST T OO MANY FACTORS FOR A HUMAN.MIND TO WEIG H AT ONCE. DECISION.MAKER ALLOWS YOU TO WEIGH EACH FACTOR.AND OPTION SEPARATELY WHILE KEEPING.IN MIND ALL OF YOUR LITTL E DECISIONS... THE EVALUATION YOU END UP WITH IS.BASED TOTALLY UPON THE FACTS YOU.ENTER, THUS THE EVALUATION IS.ACTUA LLY YOURS, NOT THE COMPUTER'S..I CAN SEE MANY LOADSTAR READERS.DECIDING ON WHICH CAR TO BUY, WHICH.IS A PERFECT TASK FOR DECISION MAKER...EDITOR'S NOTE: I THINK I'LL USE.DECISION MAKER TO DECIDE WHETH ER TO.READ JEFF'S NOVEL OR WATCH WWF.WRE STLING TONIGHT. JEFF WRITES UP A.STORM BUT I HEAR THAT ROCKIN' ROBIN.IS FIGHTIN G JAKE THE SNAKE. I LOVE.THOSE INTER-GE NDER MATCHES..DECISIONS, DECISIONS.....D ISK FILES THIS PROGRAM USES..DECISION MA KER T.DECISION MAKER.. **** E ND OF TEXT ****.
