Well I do not wish to quibble about it. I agree the machine is superior....I've been an Apple user through roughly twenty years and at least 15 machines. I don't know what ProTA is but all I need is a machine that gives me Futures quotes. It no longer matters how "good" the machine is. I can buy anything for less than a thousand dollars and get that. That is to say, I can set up a PC with a couple of other pieces of junk and have one go down and swap them out and still be under the cost of the Mac. All these things do is spit out numbers anyway. Years gone by, it was a much more personal issue. These days, it's just a box and keyboard. I'm typing this on a Mac, by the way, and I still have about 6 or 7 of them up and running throughout the house. Just chucked an Apple ][ Plus that was fine tuned beyond belief into the junk pile and I have a Mac Plus in the attic that has to go as well. At this point the Spirituality of the issue for me is long past. I'd love for them to be viable but the unfortunate issue is that most people develop software for the PC and port it to the Mac and that never seems to work out. I understand your love for the machine. By the way, I cannot get along with just one machine. For straight trading I use three, myself. Three datafeeds, four monitors. Each to his or her own.
