Hello Doug, Well.....the machine is in. I had a local company build it up. This way I get good pick of quality from various providers, plus back up that is compitent and local. No Gateway, Compac or Dell screw-ups.....He's put in two ATI video cards so it will run 2 monitors off the same hard drive and keyboard-mouse. Wants to check it out and make sure the machine is functioning properly. Quess this is one of Win 98 perks. Next step is picking it up. Which may take some more time. Family concerns have kept me off the internet and way from trading since last Friday. Lot of conflicting currents. Got a nephew down from Vermont (Merit Scholar) looking at colleges....Boston College, MIT and others, he wants to be an engineer....? So far I've walked through 3 university campus tours and 2 financial aid seminars....plus two more coming up tomarrow. In conversation I realised this bright kid didn't know anything about the Tigiris and Euphrates Rivers....so I solved that by walking him thru 8,000 years of human history at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts. We started with the Mesopotamian artifact rooms - Babylonia - Assyria - Mycenaean - Greece and it's Hellenistic Period - Romian and touched on Nubian and Egyptian Cultures. We also looked into China, Japan and India. He did well and had the kindness and good sense to "Thank Me." <<smile>> Also, I have a close aunt recovering from by-pass surgery and a first cousin afflicted with cancer, who may not have much longer to live....Other concerns. Anyway, a lot going on. To Bad...there have been some nice swings in this market!!! I'll have to look back and see where my signals would have put my trades and if Tp's would have marked any movements. Looks like my new price/time projections learned from Connie Brown's new book for Friday 16th were correct....but one trading day off. This could be due to the lousey charts. Hope You've been on the best side of these swings and made some money? My Best Chip
