    Upgrading from Win 98 to 2000 Pro

    What a great site. Thank you! And you're right, NTFS kicks butt over FAT32--much more stable. Data compression too, if you want. I've also heard that a fresh install of Win2K/XP is better than upgrading from 9x. To 'learinglisted': Windows 2000 and XP are equally stable. Some prefer...

    Stop the crap.....

    ...BS recently than in previous months. Quite refreshing. IMO, it was getting *really* bad for awhile there. Very childish. I am in no way for total censorship, but the "serious" forums should have a more "professional" tone to them. It's fine with me, however, if "Chit Chat" is a...

    Power Outage

    My thoughts exactly. They should have at least a UPS system and preferably UPS/generator. If not for all of their systems, at least the ones that can get you out of a position over the phone. Yes, I have open positions...:( Phone call to IB, CS said there was nothing that can be done...

    Free book from IB

    I was "wowed" when the book arrived! I went to sites looking for reviews on it, and all are excellent. I reminds me of a college-type text book. I think I'd need to take a course to get through it all, though. :) The first sentences on the cover letter from IB are, "We want you to succeed...

    Netzero Highspeed Internet

    From a previous post, my take on NetNothing: "I don't have any experience with Compuserve, but I do with NetZilch - they bite the big red candle stick. Signed up with their "Platinum" service for $9.95, 11/2001. Results? Disconnects after relatively short inactivity; A PAY-for support plan...

    CyberTrader new commissions Jul 24th

    I agree with the 'free trades' aspect. Gotta watch the lure of "First 25 Trades Free". Other brokers offer the same. The fact is, if you're an active trader, the offer can be used up in less than a week, or even a day. After that, full-on commissions and fee schedule. In fact, if I'm not...

    CyberTrader new commissions Jul 24th

    Because most people here don't trade your volume nor style, I presume. As a newer trader, I would have gone broke on commissions if it weren't for a low per-share commission structure like IB's. I trade $15-50 stocks in lots of 100-500 shares, and make 25-100 trades a day. Let's say today I...

    trading thru IB using Medved QT

    After you start IB, couldn't you just minimize it (the IB Order Management Screen)? Then it wouldn't take up any screen space at all, and all you'd see is QT.... (To J. Medved: Speaking of 'meds', are you hooked up to a Red Bull I.V. or what??! This board, your own board, replies to...
