GET just reads data and gives narratives of what it sees though doesn't it. I am a TA guy and am lost if I can't have my nightly fix of chart reading. <g> If GET would draw my charts without using too much memory it would be great but from what I have seen here of GET, it just tells me if a price is over or under a moving average etc which I can see for myself on a chart. I didn't care for real time stuff or bells and whistles etc since all I need is a nightly candle chart and a P&F chart once in a blue moon. I was doing them by hand in MS Excel but as my site caught on, I was doing 200 charts a night so I could post 80 and give halfway accurate predictions. MSFT has never got rid of the GDI resource leak problem that most people never see unless they are running large files which my charts grew to become. Both of my computers with 128 RAM each can't handle the load anymore. My understanding that for a decent price on end of day charting software my choices were basically limited to Metastock 6.5 or Supercharts. It seemed Metastock had a better long term reputation and I got a little bit off due to their holiday special so I ordered it. If this doesn't do it I will load Lynix on this machine and get rid of all MSFT software and do my charts on Lotus. I swear I will never buy MSFT stock again. Their system is crud. I spent weeks on their support page and never found an attempt at a work around for these resource leaks. I just pray that Oracle and SUNW come up with the software to kick Gates off his holy horse! They have been saying that each new version would fix this for 5 years and I still can knock my resources down 80% just by opening my chart files. Lee
