Currently I use a USB external drive for backups. I do it religiously once a day. But it did happen to me a couple of times my laptop crashed for some unknown reasons. Fortunately so far I haven't lost any data. But the possibility is very real. If it crashes and won't boot, I would be SOL...

Thanks mgookin. I do have Win7 Ultimate x64. I am currently using Win7 Home Premium that comes with the HP laptop. I can install Ultimate on it instead. Let me see what I can come up with.

That Bar By Bar thing is great if you do it with a drinking buddy. :D

I am not too familiar with RAID and would appreciate some input on my basic questions: To set up RAID, does it need a special RAID controller? Can it be added on or must it be built-in and supported on a motherboard? Say I have a HP laptop, which obviously doesn't come with RAID. If I...

I quitted my full-time job a few years ago and now trade for a living. I have accepted that trading is a lone-wolf profession. You can exchange ideas and learn from others from time to time. Or daily if you join some chatrooms or the likes. But when it comes to fighting the battles, you...

Ah! Thanks samovar! I feel better now. :) Both TimeSnapper and Irfan do a great job! TimeSnapper costs $25. Which I think is fair. And this one is free! Can't complain! :) One thing I like Irfan better is that it let me choose how to name my files (I can have prefix, suffix...

samovar: just tried IrfanView. It is a winner too! Very easy to set up. But one thing that is annoying to me is that each time IrfanView finishes captuing my screens and creating the file, it beeps. A system beep. I couldn't find the way (if we can) to stop it. Do you know if that...

Replacing something 7 times? Sorry... however you look at it, it was no good. I would have lost all confidence from that sourcing. This is intriguing. You said the 2 NVS 440s are in a "separate box". Did you mean they are housed in a different chassis? (What kind of "box"? Or was it...

There was a time that box makers used to design everything on their own. That was the time for Digital, IBM, Data General, Unisys, Burroughs and such. Oops... I lost half the readers. Then Sun came up with their unix workstations using all off-the-shelf components. What a concept! They...

Really? That's great. It's true what I ran XP on was an older box. PCI cards. Older model. Didn't see portrait mode offered.

I had used XP for quite a few years. But since then had moved on to Vista, then lately Win7. I think XP is a robust, tried and true OS platform. But it just didn't have some of the nitty things Microsoft put in. Such as... the monitor landscape/portrait orientation support. Only in Win7...

TradeStation offers "RadarScreen" feature. It is a table form where you can add any indicator you want to follow (MACD, RSI, Stochastics, etc... all the common ones or you can have your own custom indicators). For each symbol that you add, you can specify the periodicity that you want (e.g...

helgen_1: I have tried out timesnapper. It does exactly what I like it to do, quietly in the background. It's a winner! The only thing that I hope could be different is: #) That it would let me set up a scheduled (M-F) start/stop time. I have set it for record when idling now and later...

Oh come on. No need to belittle someone just because he askes a question. cml2949: You said: "If I can get the 60/40 treatmeant on my futures trades, I hope I have enough time.. " Why "if"? What would be the reason that you won't have a 60/40? From what I understand: futures are...

RE: "Second generation" Thanks for your info. When I look at the next generation of something, usually it is a break through of some sort or a complete make over. I have been watching the Intel chip development over the years. From: 8086 / 8088 to 80286, 80386, 80486 then Pentium...

LOL tomahawk! No, not really. That was only a tongue-in-cheek thing. I don't mind selling my setup for $3000 made-to-order though! Anybody wants one PM me! Free shipping!!! :D

Is this all in a laptop? Impressive!

I am not familiar with the terms. What is considered "Second Generation" in laptops?

I was wondering the same thing. What would you like to monitor? Is it a software monitor that you are looking for not hardware monitor, right?

Thanks for the info helgen_1. I will try them out!
