I forgot to mention that I replaced the keyboard. Same problem.

As usual, Dell support is of no help on a problem I'm having. But I'm going to have to buy a new computer if I can't figure this out, so I thought I'd post here to see if anyone else had this problem. Every so often, I am unable to type anything onto a screen. For example, I was trying to...

http://www.hergo.com/index.asp?category=10&xsection=124&xview=a Here's one I hadn't seen mentioned on this site. They don't have prices on the web, but I got a quote for $355 (+$20 shipping). Unfortunately, they're only compatible with 75 mm VESA mounts, so if you have 100 mm, they have to...

Could someone with a 17" lcd monitor measure the height and width for me? (not including the bezel of course) I would assume that all monitors of the same diagonal size have roughly the same dimensions. I'm trying to figure out the difference in viewing area between a 17" and 19".

There was a segment on CNBC today about companies that will sell products for you on Ebay, charging roughly 30%. Does anyone remember the name of the company, or know of other companies that do this? I thought it was isellnow or something like that, but I couldn't find anything on the web using...

I have a theory that those who prefer meat over sweets would be more inclined to be persuaded by a low carb diet like Atkins, while those who prefer sweets would be persuaded more by a low fat diet like Ornish. For example, I could live without meat for the rest of my life, but candy is a lot...

I did it a bunch of times a few years ago between two brokers before I found out it was illegal. (Not to paint the tape, but to avoid several partial fills from my secondary broker, which charged $20/ticket) Nothing ever happened to me either.

Thanks for all the suggestions. Apparently there is something called 'auto adjustment' that optimizes the picture. That produced a much cleaner display. I don't have WinXP, so I couldn't enable the ClearType font. :(

It actually seems kind of blurry compared to my CRTs. My new lcd is a Samsung 193V, and I have it next to my crappy old NEC Multisync 6FGP (from the mid 90s?). I have them both set at 1024X768, and when I move something from the crt to the lcd monitor, the text doesn't seem quite as crisp. I...

I talked to a guy at theagroup. He suggested (for lcd's) getting mounts (like Ergotron) that hold 2 or 4 monitors and stacking the moniors 2 high. To avoid having to look up too high to see the top monitors, you put the mounts on a shelf behind your desk. The shelf sits a few inches lower than...

Someone sent me a pm. The one I was looking for was http://www.theagroup.com/products/index.htm (Ergonomic workstations) $1,800 for what I'm looking for. I think I'll just get some lcds and get a cheap desk.

Where is a good place to get a reasonably priced desk for trading, for 6-8 monitors? There was a place online that sold dedicated trading desks, but I can't remeber the name of the company. The name started with an 'A'; that's all I can remember.

Yes it's IB. I know what you're referring to on the ECNs. I've called Island a few times because every other ECN released the stock, and they were late. Ever since IB started putting a red horizontal line highlighting a stock that's halted, this has been a problem. The line rarely goes away...

Does anyone else send emails to IB to complain when they keep a stock halted after the Nasdaq has released it for trading? This has been going on for months. Every time I contact them, they say the programmers are 'working on it'. I would say that they keep a stock halted on average 1/2 hour...

I've been reading some stuff on how processing, as well as cooking, destroys the 'life force' of food. Supposedly the enzymes (which aid digestion) are destroyed when food is heated over 106 (I think, maybe a little higher) degrees. One of the pioneers of this movement stated that we have a...

I think the idea is to extend your 'youth' as long as possible, not just the number of years. I'd love to live to be 100+ if I could be healthy and energetic all along the way. Why wouldn't you want to pursue the lifestyle that you think would give you the greatest chance of having a sound...

Is anyone else having trouble in the last few weeks adjusting your order size on TWS? I don't remember having this problem before, but often I try to make a change, it stays at the default size, and it takes 2 or 3 attempts to change it. I use the default mouse click system. Maybe it's time...
