    Opinions on New TWS Charting 911: Better or Worse

    IB rewrote a lot of this code. BEfore it was clunky but for the most part worked. Now they rewrote the code AND added new features. (or just glommed on a bunch of code, or both) Now it seems broken. Memory loss bug is the worst and overloads Java. The infamous 25% CPU usage...

    windows vista ... yes or no

    Hi All, Just my opinion here so please no flames. I worked for MSFT from Win 2.0 through XP. Vista is a huge move forward, but not what most would see. If you just use it like XP it is just a bit slicker. You for sure should wait for SP1. There are a lot of bugs that will be fixed...

    Laptop + external monitor travel advice?

    I ended up using the Pelican Case. Largest that would still be a carry on. I think a 20" thin frame may fit. Like the NEC 2070NX. Alas the case is unused now. Sucker will be heavy for a carry on. Like 40#s. The Pelican case is cool but heavy. But if you need floatation in water it...
