Re: Web Washer and Vestigial Proxy Settings

Hi SIer formerly known as Joe B.,

I have solved my conundrum regarding the inability to access URLs.
What I had to do is manually go into Navigator|Edit|Preferences|Advanced|Proxies and delete the 127.0.0.1:8080 and everything is now back to normal.
I suppose I should co more regular backups as you suggest, but since 97+% of everything I need is already on remote servers, it is one task I have deferred.

Please tell me more about Mytrack, I am not familiar with it. Do you have a URL or FAQ on it?

For real-time quotes I generally rely on Schwab. I almost never swing trade or day trade so RT quotes are something I find to be basically a distraction to my real goals, which is to find stocks for the long term that my heirs and successors can pay the cap gains on.

Best, Ry
