    Colorgraphics quad card

    Like Nitro says, drivers on the Colorgraphics site along with installation manual. Look at the section for drivers for older products. You can call tech support and they will walk you through the whole thing as well. Jay

    the real "war" question

    Just out of curiosity, where do you come from?

    the real "war" question

    Alfonso, First of all, I never stated that invading Iraq to set up a dem gov was legal by UN charter, just a major reason why the US is there. Now on to the oil thing. Lets do the math. What do you figure the absolute max amount in contracts to US companies for rebuilding could be? Now...

    the real "war" question

    He's never used them. Saddam has not only used them in battle, but also against his own people. Also, the guy's hero is literally Josef Stalin! He manages his country in the exact same manner. Jay

    the real "war" question

    Creating a democratic government would be far more valuable than the oil could ever be. We are not doing this for humanitarian reasons, but it will have humanitarian results in the long run. A democratic government there could possibly lead to a domino effect throughout the region as well. It is...

    Colorgraphics quad card

    I have a Colorgraphics Evolution 4 card for sale. Its nearly new, and works great in older systems (actually it will work in any system, but setting it up in Win XP is a bitch. You have to mess with registers and such). Anyway, it runs 1 to 4 monitors, but analog only. This card is best...

    What action do we take if this happens???

    Yep, that would help world opinion. Thus, it will never happen. What I believe would happen? Well, world opinion would turn on a dime and support the US. We would also be quite pissed, so I think this would simply result in the US taking a much more aggressive stance without so much regard...

    Do You Think SARS Is Germ Warfare

    This is definitely true, but for bacterial infections, not viruses. Penicillin and its derivatives do nothing to viruses (hence herpes, AIDS, and the common cold are a bitch to fight). Jay

    Oil, supply/demand/pricing, effects on economy

    I think he is correct on point 5. Demand becomes quite elastic, but prices have to remain there for an extended period of time. This is one reason why OPEC doesn't like prices over $30 (the other is that this encourages exploration, and alternative energy use). Its funny though how he didn't...

    A method or indicator you have discarded!

    Most Bright traders when I was there traded by tape reading. Many were long time vets and quite consistent. Not all of them traded in a hyper fashion though. Jay

    A method or indicator you have discarded!

    Wow. That's impressive. Futures are so technically based (as compared to stocks) that I could never dump my charts. I'm helpless without them. I do use time and sales to get a picture of the size and frenzy of trading at given levels, but my charts are my bread and butter. I use 1, 5, 15, and 60...

    Invasion of Baghdad has started !

    Yep, lots of press about this. Going to war, hammering the crap out of our economy, and destoying foreign relations with much of the world to enrich some oil friends. Sounds very far fetched to me. Yes, George has lots of oil connections, but that's mainly because he was raised in the industry...

    Invasion of Baghdad has started !

    I also think the liberation argument is a little far fetched. We need more than that to go to war. However, the reason why we stopped when we did in 1991 was because that was a UN backed action, and the only goal at the time was to get Iraq out of Kuwait. George senior has stated many times that...

    Invasion of Baghdad has started !

    We may be invading for a number of reasons, but oil isn't one of them. This will not increase the amount of oil on the market for years, if at all. Unless the new Iraqi government leaves OPEC, which is highly unlikely, the price of oil will not significantly change. OPEC will continue to TRY to...

    just starting out

    John Murphy's Technical Analysis book Market Wizards, "Scwager" Just to show you what's possible. Any of the psychology books. I prefer The Disciplined Trader, by Douglas. Do a search on Traders Library or Traders Press for books. Amazon has most of em too. Jay

    Prop Futures

    Greentree only takes a cut if you trade less than a 10K account. Echo now offers futures as well. There are firms slowly but surely offering futures on the same model as Bright, etc (no risk to firm, no fee from profits). I refer to all trading firms as prop, just different models, so sorry for...

    Who's from Chicago?

    Sounds like San Francisco which is one reason why I don't live there anymore. Cal has real estate bubbles every now and then where prices go ridiculous, and then fall back for awhile. Sounds like you guys may be having something similar. Jay

    Prop Futures

    More expensive generally. With the massive leverage available to retail futures traders, you do not need the buying power offered by a prop firm unless you are seriously short on capital to begin with. In this case, you would require a system where the prop firm takes all the risk, and a % of...
