< Hopefully most Windows fanatics look at other threads> I would think there is general agreement that Windows rots. Matter of fact, it was suggested to me by Gateway technicians that I remove '95 and '98 from my machines and replace with NT or UNIX. My son runs UNIX on one of his toys, it would be pretty easy. So if Signal supports then perhaps Hotline will run off BMI. I don't care for Signal. I'll check on Tuesday. I have another 5 months lease on the current software and then the machine becomes a boat anchor unless I can get something that works well. <Of course then one has to discount margin interest for SPY or premium deterioration in the SPOO, so let's take a few thousand off the gains, still quite good.> Hard to say, it would depend on whether you were taking your signals from the Cash or the spoo. Might be less, might be more. ________________________ OT Want to hear something funny? I have this suit that I bought in 1973. A black wool 3 piece with widely spaced narrow white stripes, a real Al Capone special. I gave it to my kid and he said "why is the bottom button on the vest placed in such a way that it cannot be buttoned?" When I told him that one does not button that button he said "Well why have it there then?" I dunno, why is the sky blue? I live in a family of wisecracking nut cases. He must get it from my wife's side.
