DrJazz: you're not quite comparing things right with those simple ratios.

I am comparing things correctly with those simple ratios.

Percentages are useful because people can compare things that are not out of the same number.

If you want to compare things, I can say that it is perhaps more real.

We tend to compare things we see to those around us.

Everyone should just stop comparing things to the $99 Touchpad.

"Comparing things to this time a year ago, it is kind of hard to find a more dramatic contrast."

So, let us stop comparing things which are not comparable.

To do it any other way would not give us you to compare things with.

I don't want to compare things to the past.
