I ended up putting in a link to PC Quote and although I still have Bonneville I rely more on PC Quote now. The freakin' room looks like NASA now. Comcast allowed me to triangulate the cable modem across three computers. I bought a hub with a 4 port router....the local hobby shop has 'em for $75 for a 5 port router. The place is weird city. I used to go there 15 or so years ago and pick up 1K RAM whenever we would blow up our Apple ]['s, it was a junk shop with nothing but steel shelves and bins with parts for pennies. Now you go there and and they have tried to get mainstream, but it's still a junk shop. My son loves it, he walked in the first time and saw a guy in a trench coat and running shoes rummaging through those bins and couldn't stop laughing. I went there today and bought a keyboard for my notebook for 15 bucks, a mouse for 7, a few RJ45's and a box of 50 disks for 20 plus a $10 rebate so really only $10. I think they have a website at www.elebarn.com; I remember this PE I know who teaches at St. John's and I used to shop there for an hour and spend about 35 bucks coming home laden with all sorts of stuff. My kid was cracking up, looking at sound cards jammed together in a box on the floor for 5 bucks apiece, saying "no static problems here, I guess". But the BMI stuff is hitting the bricks, I think. I'll keep it for a time but it's now backup systems. The third computer is driving off RealTick III from PC Quote. It goes up and down and BMI is more reliable but the RealTick software is superior to Linn Software and Ensign. At this point in time everything is superior to Linn, it's an annual license and will definitely not be renewed.....BMI or no BMI. But the PC Quote is available on a one or two week trial, I was lucky and got two weeks. If you are interested I'll e-mail you the info.
