Computer Tips

I agree with you on the Lavasoft, and I recommend installing at least one other Spyware program..Microsoft offers Windows Defender at its site, or there's Spybot, etc etc..They say it's good to have 2 spyware programs, because just 1 can't catch every type of spyware..

Microsoft also offers a cool program called "Sync Toy" I've used, it lets you easily do backups of files..helpful for backing up important data to a external drive..etc

Bigcharts.com

Use the "Advanced Chart" features to create some awesome charts. It doesn't have all the same features as Stockcharts.com, but it has some that SC doesn't. E.g. you're allowed to create charts with all data, vs. only 3 years back in the freebie version of Stockcharts. Also has Rolling EPS and P/E for lower indicators, which SC does not have. Other stuff too. You'll see if you check it out.

cool

Thanks, Rob. The rolling EPS and P/E indicators are groovy

btw: StockCharts.com still does not work

Do you know of any other free charting service with similar features? Yahoo charts aren't that great, and I don't really care for TD Ameritrade's, either.

Thank you Rob. You saved me from tearing out my hair.

btw: It probably only took you about 2 minutes to check out the site and then respond to my post, huh?

ooooh...I just love all these little shortcuts...a real timesaver...now I can post more

[IIC]

Here's a link to Microsoft's Web page that lists all the cool keyboard shortcuts available on WIN XP. Most of these will work on earlier versions of Windows as well. I give this one two thumbs up.

Funny...'cause I just posted this in response to you at the POTW thread:

Glad you brought that up...I rarely use keyboard shortcuts 'cause I never remember them...So I just found this handy little list:
