Abbeydale: - What are the drawbacks of using a 166MHz Puter? Just speed of processing. You could definitely use MS on a 166, but depending on how many scans you'd like to perform it'll take you more time. For example, it takes my 266 approximately 2 minutes to scan 2200 securities using only a basic filtering process. Yours might take 5-10 minutes (???). I guess I was thinking of people who are still using P100 and lower. - How much RAM do you need.. I have 64M? 64M - no problem. - Can you buy it in Edmonton or is it strictly mail order? Mail order only. - Website addy? equis.com - Also, I am a real newbie to TA... is it a good tutorial or should I study up before investing in it? Hmmm. It depends. If you're a number cruncher at heart and you have the money to spend then buy it. Otherwise, I think someone new to TA would do better to read books/websites on TA and just use a website chart to learn the basics of TA. For example... askresearch.com I honestly think that those new to TA wouldn't find Metastock all that exciting unless they were number crunchers at heart. When you do become familiar with TA and like to look for certain technical characteristics and start testing certain systems, then you'll find the value in Metastock. Just my opinion. WN
