I'm not much of a gambler myself, last time I was at a casino was with Fred up in Canada. It was late, I was tired and I think I spent perhaps 15 minutes at craps and made one bet on Roulette. I go very rarely, although I have been intending to ask my wife to join me down to AC for awhile, it's not that easy to go to these places because of the boys. The youngest is too young to leave at home. Been a hectic weekend. Mercury Retrograde, and all that. PC's are so much more unwieldy than Mac's. I bought a card to swap out a Monitor off one of my Mac's and use one of the Gateway's to handle two monitors. I wanted to run Tradestation on one, PC Quote or QCharts on the other. Turned out to do this I had to upgrade to Win '98. So I wanted to download everything to a Jaz disk, my son wanted to zip it and FTP it all to himself, sending it back when we were finished. Hooking up the Jaz seemed to be too intricate to him, as the software and such was not already on the machine and the machine was in pieces all over the office. So we did it his way. Sure enough, when he finally pieced every thing together so the twin Monitors worked, the files were kaput. I'm out all day today, and he is going to try to get them back, but it appears my Tradestation is kaput. Cannot even get it to re-install using the CD. On the Mac, it's just a question of plugging the monitor in, then changing the Control Panel-Display Setting. On Windows, it's become a First-Year College course. I'm certain he will have everything running when I get back. Except for Tradestation of course, which is ironic because Tradestation was the reason we did all of this in the first place. "Monkeyman"? First time I heard that song I was heading the wrong way off route 80 in a bad snowstorm going towards Giants Stadium. It was impossible to do a legal U-Turn. So I did an illegal one. Just then the part of the song came up that goes something like, "....in Jersey everything is legal, as long as you don't get caught". That's all a native needs; encouragement.
