Oh gee, seems MSFT has been strong arming other vendors! Microsoft threatened computer companies over browser contracts Another manufacturer, Gateway, wanted to set up its Gateway 2000 computers so they immediately booted onto Netscape Communicator when they were turned on, instead of Microsoft Windows, said Gateway software director James Von Holle. Microsoft said no. "Microsoft requires that we boot to what they call a pristine Windows environment, and that is an environment Microsoft defines," Von Holle said. "Users may change that end configuration, but we're not able to (change it) as manufacturers. Micron asked Microsoft if it could remove the Explorer browser. A Microsoft representative told Browning that removing the icon would have violated the "'Windows experience initiative, which he explained as intended to ensure the integrity and uniformity of Windows 95 as received by computer user," Browning said. seattletimes.com Derek

Jeff, selling has been so difficult for me. Selling has and IS the most gut-wrenching part for me. I have lots of great ideas for buys and usually don't hesitate to pull the trigger, but selling? ARGHHHH........... I don't think you'll find anyone here who doesn't have the same difficulty. When I first started doing this I had a broker. One of the first things he told me was that selling was the hardest part. I didn't get it then, but I sure as hell figured it out. It's never gotten any easier. Inre charting. O'Neill is fairly basic stuff. I find him WAY too vague. Try these for some basic chart stuff. iqc.com alphachart.com also try E-analytics: e-analytics.com This is probably the best site I can give you. LOTS of good stuff there. 'Splains EVERYTHING. Options, technical analysis, basic strategies. just roam around and enjoy. It's a good one. For starters try running some simple Moving Averages on a chart. Then maybe try to figure out some support and resistance levels. Sit back and see if you were right. Or go back 6 months to a year on the chart and don't look at the present. Do a chart and then look at the present to see if you were right. If you go to my profile-page, I have some other links to good sites under "favorite links". It may take a minute to load due to all the bells and whistles I added. (You can ignore the "Robotics girls"<GG> Inre software. I would highly recommend TC2000 by Worden Bros. It's 30 bucks, free trial, moneyback guarantee, etc. I have some other MUCH more expensive software programs, but I still rely on TC2000 heavily. It's a bit clunky as it is still in DOS format, but if I can learn how to use it ANYBODY can. (I was using an Apple when DOS was around and never really learned how to use it.) You have to stick to the keyboard, but the commands are pretty easy and once you get the hang of it, it's a snap. Hope this helps.
