AR, According to others, it looks more like the trailer of a Browning Ferris garbage truck. I used to have a ton of machinery. But I have returned much of it. For the partnership, at one time I had 4 machines, not counting my personal pc. But I only have the one stock/option quote machine now. I had a bond machine from Bloomberg, and though I liked it, I didn't think it justified its price and the price comes out of the portfolios return, from which my bonus is derived. Yes, it is paid in soft dollars, but, that increases commission rates, etc. I tried a Bridge for awhile and it didn't have anything I had to have. And my partners sent me an options maximizer of their own invention, which I returned in pieces. -g- So, it doesn't look that high tech any more. If I were doing bonds in larger size, I would want the Bloomberg back. But the size I'm doing, I just don't move the markets any more. -g- MB
