A headset?

That's all I need, something else to go wrong.

One of the reasons I left was because the damn feeds kept going down. If you recall, @Home went out of business around then. I had three computers hooked in, and when ComCast finally got the @Home feed back up, only one computer came back up with it.

Strangely, it wasn't the machine that had all my data that I used as technical analysis.

(You would not believe the stuff I had accumulated. And this machine was cherry; I had it tricked out so far that the only thing it couldn't do was make coffee.)

Switching the feed to the Primary computer would not work, oddly enough. You could not just swap the cable from one to another. It was astounding. By the time I got another feed in it was March, three months later. I had listened to ComCast's "Any day now" crap that long.

By that time, I was three months behind on updating my databases. They are worthless now. A real sin, actually. You could have asked me how the SP traded on any given day in the last 15 years and I could have given you the precise time of the High, Low, ....anything you wanted. Even a picture of the chart.

Go find that kind of information anywhere. If you can even find it it will cost you. TickData has the charts, but this was all outlined by line item so I could derive historical percentages to help me derive patterns.

Just thinking about those days makes me wonder how I ever got so industrious. Maybe it's better that ComCast screwed it all up; I was working way too hard back then.
