SAT FAC numbers

[Farrell]

Woohhhaa! What is going on here? I punched in the three FAC numbers on both
my SAT I (FAC-equipped) and SAT III and got A0=19.0  and C8=22.0. This is
different from the previous two posts. How on earth can we be getting
different results? Is this the state of AccuTuner use? Am I doing something
wrong? Please reply prior to my heart attack. Thanks......Argh!
