Kirk; OFF TOPIC, thanks for looking at my page, I don't have the time or "skill" you seem to have for writing html , let me ask you, did it play music for you ? I have reservations about the embeded midi files in it. I know they slow it down, but how much I'm not sure, and I feel people like fast loading pages, "I hate frames" I want the info more than the bells and wistles. often I run 3 or 4 copies of netscape and poll several urls at one time. I don't have a T1 line but can tell at times the internet backbone gets overload and responds slower than my modem runs. Like the waiting for responce is generally the server or hubs along the route. The ISP I have my page on is at times slow itself, though I have no T1 line, I can call into 4 local ISPs and always get a free line on one, so far ;-). Sometimes I've found one will slow down, so I break that connection and try the next one. The MCI backbone seems the fastest most of the time, but not always. Also 3 of th 4 ISPs I call into are on differant backbones. But one of them is still only running 28.8 modems on his end, and I gota be hard up to use him. Any way; back to my question do you think I should kill the embeded midi files ? Jim

Kirk; Thanx for the urls, tracing them I found one in my niche halcyon.com could say a lot about it, he has much more time at it than I do, but I see much I also found out the hard way. He don't include that A/D numbers if used as canned can sometimes be missleading. And he don't overlay things with a currency filter, I do like the "don't fight interest rate thingy" as well as his saying it's not a buy sell trigger but a filter.. to me that also applies to currency exchage rates. Note how Japan rallyed today, go look at what the Yen did in the last two days. Not always a rule here..Japan has been a hard one to figure. Rules change from time to time in the market, one has to be on the lookout for new patterns. Jim
