Don... off topic Noticed you put chess interest in your bio. When time permits, I run Chessmaster 2000 for a quick game. I assume that its game is consistent and that mine isn't... so its a good daily benchmark for something (focus or concentration or # of cells active from the night before <gg> ). I win about 70% of the games if I keep a full mental press going, but what's interesting to me is that when I'm losing.. and sometimes really badly, I can't subjectively apprectiate how poor my reasoning process is until I play a few games. In other words, without playing the games I "feel" I'm just as sharp as when I'm able to see a game through. It bothered me that I might be making significant money decisions in the market with a half baked mind.. so at one point I only traded if I beat the chess game, thinking that my feelings of being sharp on any given day were subjectively blind. The problem now is that I upgraded my computer and its running far more permutations in the chess program per second than before... thus cutting back my available trading days. I'm contemplating another computer upgrade to a 300mz Pentium or the 500mz Alpha running NT. I may never be able to trade again! Jim
