Celeron 300A cpu overclocked 450@2.0v, w/duel cooling fans.(Minotaur) Samsung 128 mb cas2 PC-100 memory (Mushkin). IBM Deskstar 8.4 GB HDD. Western 5.1 GB HDD (from old mach.)

>>I do not agree that creating a Drive Image is a waste of time..at least not for me. It took close to an hour for me just to load Win98 from a fast CDROM drive. It will take me days to get my browsers loaded and configured with telephone numbers and email accounts among other basics. I'm wondering with whom you are disagreeing. If you believe you're disagreeing with me, you've misread what I've been saying <g>. What I've been saying is: Balance the costs. Neither rebuilding an OS NOR making an image is free. When the estimated cost of making, maintaining, and restoring images exceeds the estimated cost of rebuilding, make the image. In the case in point here, Clarence's image cost was on a steep ascent curve, AND his rebuild cost is small, AND he still doesn't have the backup NT which was the point of the whole shebang in the first place and which he needs to get on with. You will, of course, make your own cost estimates (duly allowing for the high cost of wear and tear on the nerves) and make your own decisions. I will do the same (duly allowing for my don't-give-a-damn outlook) and make mine. Then you will make images and I will play Doom <G>. Seriously, I am not completely satisfied with my backup strategy for my working NT, and I definitely intend to implement an image strategy. I haven't done so because it will take me quite a while to work out the procedures (I haven't even picked the software yet) and my current backups allow me to recover from a very big hit quickly. Other activities have precedence right now. Still, a good idea -- better than DOOM <gg>.

Does anyone know where one can get a complete printout of a day's worth of T&S stamps on a given stock, as well as a full day's printout of LII status on the stock? I would like to use it to analyze what is happening with a stock on a given day. I guess if that info is not immediately available, there's got to be a way to hook up some kind of program that would download that info onto your hard drive directly from your RTIII or some such software. You could then print it out. Or maybe even hook it up so it prints as it happens? I'm not enough of a ‘puter geek to even begin to figure out how to implement it, but I have unfailing faith in the collective wisdom, inventiveness and sheer pocket protector camaraderie of the SI community. Anyone with ideas? TIA Morgan
