    XP Reinstall

    How to use an OEM disc on a different computer is buried on the website I gave. You can also google it and wade through forums to find the answer as to how. It's only legal if you legally own your copy of windows of course. I won't directly link because of that issue so with some homework...

    don't know what Geeksquad uses....but most of my peers make their own "unattended install" discs up. windows does make that version....if you roll your own! unattended install is not something people made up after microsoft - you can put that into their tech site search or explore the windows...

    Multiple monitor question

    http://www.gotapex.com/ cheap dell deals - add in a card and monitors and voila no offense meant ... but if you need to ask questions about what mobo, proc,etc to buy then maybe it's not a good idea to use your first creation for trading. i would want something rock solid stable.

    The company writing the mortgage isn't the loser - think about the interest and how it's paid (ie you pay a heck of lot more for your house than it's selling price by the time you're done - they get the "purchase price or most of it early on).

    IB: Several seconds after cancelling an order...

    fwiw i've had pretty good luck with hidden orders on island for stops on NYSE stocks, they don't seem to be hit as much... also for target limit orders i like the same method. ARCA usually has a cent better price if you're in a hurry.

    GM is not just a car company - they have the GMAC mortgage stuff going on too I'm not bullish on them but think you should be aware there's more than GM vehicles to the company. Thought they owned SAAB at one time - not sure though
