Now i'll show my age. Flash back to brokerage house. Bache and C0, over the Steeplechase Pier in Atlantic City, went there with my dad. girls get pieces of ticker tape, go over to the huge blackboard that has names of the different stocks on them, write in chalk the new price (IBM 116 1/4), prices are listed in a long column for each stock. In the back of the room, theatre like, are chairs where, mainly men, sat studying the numbers (or the girls). This was state of the art !!! This was pre internet, pre quotron, and almost pre " I like Ike". larry
