Believe me, BW and I were just kidding around. I was being frisky this morning.... gotta do something, this market's stalled!! Next time I'll use more emoticons: :>) :>{) ;@) :*} PS: Is everyone afraid to sell for fear they'll miss a continual rally? How many days will the DOW go up without a break?

OT - my DELL computer Alski - The Dell tech and I solved a big problem this weekend by uninstalling the "Connect Direct" program (to access free internet service with ATT in first 30 days). Now things are working better but it still freezes if I click through about 1 hour of graphic intensive sites. The tech says 128K is really not that much memory for win98 which eats up a good chunk to begin with. Also, it locks up, saying low in memory after I exited a DOS-based game program. For some reason, I think the computer does not recapture memory used by closed programs. Any tricks you know? My 30 days is getting near.... I will also switch to Megsinet when I get booted out by ATT. Also, can you explain what is physical memory? (I know I will be in trouble when the physical memory reads 5% from the BMC monitoring software I installed). The trouble is I have 70% physical memory to begin with when I just boot up win98 before opening anything else. Does it mean about 128M x 0.70 = 90M of memory is what I have to open and run more programs? Look like I will need to upgrade my memory to 254M if I want to stay on for 3 hours of graphic intensive internet time. : (
