Texan jokes are always good, so here is another: Subject: Texas Baby A Texan buys a round of drinks for all the folks in a bar after announcing that his wife has just produced a "typical" Texas baby boy weighing 25 pounds. Congratulations are showered upon him from all around, and...

$1500 and it's doing well. Big difference over my old 1g Pentium 3 system. It would take about 20 minutes for Tradestation to load the 75 charts I use. Now it takes under 90 seconds. DS
