and I have been exchanging messages for the last two days trying to get
our XCIT charts to agree. His trend line was right at the bottom
of the data and hadn't been broken yet. We tried to duplicate
results and I even erased my file and reloaded data from Quotes Plus 2
to make sure we were working from the same data. I now think my
attached chart is right, which has a slightly lower trend line
than my original chart. The stock still broke the trend line
and pulled back above, but hasn't broken back through again. Since
the other facts I mentioned are still valid, I'm still going to open a
put position tomorrow, but only 1/2 the size that I originally
intended. If you are thinking about shorting the stock, you might
want to consider playing safe and waiting for it to trade below
24.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2> We are still
trying to get our charts to agree exactly, but I wanted to get this
information out today. I did learn two things. First, you
have to be extremely careful when you are making a trend line from
two or three points that are fairly close together then extending it to
the right across a long time span. The second is more
disturbing. I made my long term trend line by zooming in on the
May96 to Aug 97 data range, changing the Y scale max to 10 and then drew
the trend line through the low points and extended it to the
right. I then hit the ZOOM reset and looked at the chart as I
gradually zoomed in to the right. The disturbing fact is that each
time I zoomed in, the trend line angle seemed to shift up or down a
little. That's very disturbing if the trend line position relative
to the stock data varies depending on how much you zoom in or
out.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2> Equis Support
has anyone else complained about this. Do trend lines that the
user draw in really shift position when you zoom in and out? If
so, is the working solution to set your zoom so the beginning and ending
points of the trend line you want to act on are displayed?</FONT></DIV>

When Win98 installs, the software checks out all the hardware including the
motherboard and peripherals and builds an operating system based on this. If
you take the image from your Notebook and place in on your Desktop, I doubt
it will work at all, and definitely would not be optimally configured. I
recommend a clean Win98 install on the desktop.
I don't think you should be too worried about this. You will be surprised at
the amount of extra files and clutter you have accumulated, which will be
cleaned out, and the system should run better as a result. I for one do a
clean install about every 3 months, and consider the few hours required a
worthy investment in my computing resource.
Of course make sure you back up important data first. If you have Outlook
Express make sure you back up your e-mails. They are by default set up in
the c:\windows\application data\microsoft\outlook express directory. Also
backup your browser bookmarks. I place all valuable data onto another
partition (D: Drive) and Deltree c:\, rather than a re-format of c:
