Alex, Personally, I think the questions I asked Philip are incredibly relevant to understanding what his firm is offering. He has come on here and stated that he is offering a great service. He has every opportunity here to present his case that it is a great service rather than simply stating that it is great. I guess I don't understand how you would NOT want to know the answers to those questions. I am in the business and I feel those are some of the most important questions that could be asked. Sure, ifyou want to know how technically his system works, thats a good question (and Ithink I had something like that listed as I am truly interested in that) but I would also think that the rest of the questions I posed are quite relevant. I would like to know how these business, which keep popping up operate. They are a fast growing sector of the financial industry and you don't get that many chances to ask someone these questions. When I say, good luck in your venture, I truly mean it. I know quite a number ofpeople who have started these online firms and am quite freindly with one of the heads at Mbtrader, a firm whose name popped up in here a few weeks ago. These individuals are entrepeneuers and some of them truly are going to be the next great businesspeople we all read and hear about. I do wish him the best. Once again, if anyone on here thinks that Imight be threatened or afraid that he is "competing" with me, than I don't think you know me or my firm very well. If you perceive that I mean to caution readers on this thread that most of these firms are relatively new with no history in theindustry, then you are correct. I thought I had done so without being disrespectful to philip or his efforts and have provided him every opportunity to make a greatname for himself amongst the readers of this thread. Whatever the answers, you atleast know what you are dealing with and can therefore understand what someone truly is offering, great, good or bad. Also, regarding the video cards, Appian Graphics makes a dual monitor card for about $290ish. Regards steve@yamner.com

Bruce, <<I don't know about Windows 95, but with Windows NT 4.0, you can simply buy two Matrox Millenium II cards and plug them into the PCI slots of the computer. The Matrox drivers provide a dual monitor setup. It's very nifty.>> I am running Windows NT and have looked into this configuration. It seems like a good way to go--at least I am going to give it a try. It is more costly ($600) than Steve's suggestion, but I need a fast display card for other purposes and the Millenium II with 8 MB of RAM on each card should give me the crispness I need. Thanks for the idea. Regards, Carl P.S. This won't work with Windows 95 but will be supported in Windows 98--so I am told.
