Ahh, well, you see, I do have the math that (generally) works ;) At
least, I currently have some perl code that will give me the same
answers as a number of online mortgage calculators, which also happens
to match what my mortgage lender says.  So, all in all, it appears to
be pretty close to "right".  Sure, it may be a few cents off on a
30-year fixed mortgage, but that's not too bad (IMHO).
