I'm not being all that fair to software like Lotto Pro and Advantage Plus.
Here's why;
I mentioned "horsepower" in my post above, and that's really quite an appropriate word to describe why Lotto Pro can't do what I'd like it to do. But it's really not the software that doesn't have the horses under the hood. It's our PC's that are lacking.
See, like all software, Lotto Pro was written to run on a certain type of hardware, namely a PC. And when it comes to horsepower, a PC isn't exactly a mainframe when it comes to computing horespower/muscle.
If you think of your computer's CPU as an engine that does work, then you can easily relate to the fact that a 4 cylinder engine doesn't have the horsepower a V-8 has. Or if you think of a computer as a bulldozer, your PC is one of those little itty-bitty machines that has a small blade on the front of it. Compare that to a bulldozer that's the size of an Army tank. That big baby can move a whole mountain of dirt around in short order, but that little itty-bitty machine would take all day today, and half of tomorrow to move that same mountain of dirt.
Your PC is an itty-bitty bulldozer compared to a mainframe which is akin to the Army tank sized machine. I used to work on mainframes every day, all day long. At the tips of my fingers, I had world-class computing horsepower that could perform miracles when it came to searching massive databases and reporting back to me the information I wanted/needed to know. The software I used to search massive databases was much more powerful than Lotto Pro. That software was written to leverage the horsepower that only a mainframe has. Software that was written for a mainframe wont run on a PC because the PC just doesn't have the muscle to run it. So I'm spoiled due to my mainframe computing experience. But lemme tell ya, aint nuthin like it. It's like flying a F-14 Tomcat fighter jet, and then jumping into and flying a single engine Cessna 150. They're both airplanes, but oh baby, one of 'em's a real bad-a$$ and one of 'em aint!
The point of this is rant is simply this: If I had a mainframe at my finger tips instead of a PC running Lotto Pro, I could easily find out how many times there has been a "triple repeater" drawing in the entire history of T5. But I aint got a mainframe, all I got is a PC with Lotto Pro. And that just wont feed the bulldog. G5
