Dealer, I wanted to share this info with the porch. Old news for some but not for all. This week eye have been testing Microsofts new windows 2000 pro and wanted to to post the results. Since I am not a softie fan and resent them shipping products that are works in progress I was leary of getting the same win 98 crap ie a crash every hour. Three days of L2 screen,trading, charts, trading rooms, and even dateks streamer (I knew that would crash any OS)and to my utter disbelief..............not one crash. Any porcher trading should have this OS before Mondays open<ggg>. One note of caution...my install was a real pain in the ass. Well dealer if you will let me I will nail this up on the back wall. regards BD

Good evening (soon to be morning, just give it some time) Dealer: After reading all of the posts, I knew that this party would have been up my alley. Clappy's presence would most definitly have added some spice. Reminds me of my earlier days of crashing the hotels in the Catskill mountains as a teenager and in my 20's. We literally spent the entire night hanging out singing, dancing, schmoozing, drinking and all of that other wholesome (and not so wholesome)stuff that made America great. Although, I do have to admit that I should probably learn to play some golf (ironic since the back of my house is right on Middle Bay Country Club's golf course). Maybe I should sneak through the reeds and just "blend in". Speaking about speeches, If you need a jokemeister, I'm available, although I'm sure that there will be plenty of competition from our group. I am looking forward to the next session for "...As the Porch Churns". Speaking about soap operas, did you ever notice that now matter how old the female actor is, there are never any wrinkles on her forehead, and as for the males, no matter how "young" they appear to be they always have wrinkles on their forehead. I'm am convinced that male actors get hired on the basis of the number of wrinkles in their brow. Just an observation of mine. Now, it seems that a number of us on the porch are contemplating buying some cheap calls out of the money in anticipation of a qcom breakout. Any suggestions as to selected calls (although this reminds me of the commercial on cnbc where the guy/girl is getting a stock tip from a less then prudent source, like the heavy set woman who ends up bouncing up and down and uses her butt for keyboard input (when it is normally used for output). Love those commericals. Interest is acrueing on those group hugs. David
