Thanx Monty, the charts seem to also show buy signals, I know I've had more buy signals than sell, but I'm not convinced. Jim

Monty, Les, Vitas and all ( off topic ) but here are two neat tricks to play on win95. Been sort of busy , put my daughter a computer together, and made a few changes to mine. And just did an over due back up. -------------- Here are the two tricks if your running Win95. That really speeds up things. 1, Click the Start button, then Settings, then, Control Panel. In the Control Panel, click on the System Icon. Once in System, select the Performance tab. Click on the File System button. Change the machine role to Network Server. This will drastically enhance the use of upper memory and hard dive performance especially in machines with more than 32MB of RAM. 2 And the best one While in the Performance window click on virtual memory, mark "let me specify my own virtual memory." If you have the hard disk to spare run the minimum all the way up to 98 meg then set the Maximum the same size that they both be the same size is the main point, don't over do it if you don't have 48meg of memory or more, make them both twice what ever memory you have. ( as long as you have the spare hard drive ) What this does is keeps windows from re-sizing your hard disk virtual memory it's the only way to set 95 like old 3.1 when you could set a permanent size swap partition. The cache will work much better & you will be amazed at how much this cuts down on the hard drive access too. ( the big bottle neck for win95 speed ) now 95 thinks its got a permanent swap partition because the min and max are the same, and it's not re-sizing the blasted thing every two minutes. Note before doing this defrag your C drive then your swap drive wont be fragmented. This trick alone if you have the hard drive and memory to spare will make a slow cpu outrun in real terms the faster one ( A LOT ), as real user time is eat up and wasted with that stupid hard drive re-sizing win95 does. Cpu speed has little to do with helping you out of that quagmire. ALSO windows will give you some cryptic message and threaten you and all that garbage when you first do this, DON'T pay it any mind, she will love it. and your hard drive will love you for it, I have more tricks I use, but enough said for now. You do have to re-start windows before either one takes effect. Jim
