>>I'm using Win '95. For my new system I may go with Win '98. I'm apprehensive about NT in case of a "blue window of death".<< I have a couple of NT machines and have never experienced "the blue screen of death" I have experienced "the black screen of death" in Win95! I use mostly DOS and Win95 but only because of the applications I use. I would trend toward NT if I wanted a stable network environment with multitasking. If one trading machine in a group will carry some load for the other machines I would consider two processors and extra RAM. A fast Internet connection will make a significant difference to your CPU load. News and realtime charts and quotes coming in at 10Mbs? If all of you programs and hardware is NT compatible I would think that NT would be a more stable environment. Initial setup may be more difficult. When you experience program crashes in NT they shouldn't take down your system as they might in Win95. If you are making a living trading I would think you would want a restoration plan for either Operating System and all installed software/files. Some type of complete backup. A second harddrive ready to plug in or the RAID system Networm talks about. I still do not quite understand how the RAID backup works when it comes time to restore. Hope I am not rocking your boat, just some thoughts. Zeuspaul
