                     There was an unfortunate "moment of silence" while I was explaining the difference between "absolute" float and "relative" float. If you have absolute float, the predecessor's latest  finish time  is before your latest start time, so he can't deliver it late enough to deny you flexibility on when to start. This happens when you are right at the beginning, or your predecessor is on the critical path. Your float is relative if your predecessor has an opportunity to "eat your float" by not delivering the job until your latest start time.
