How many tickers do you track using RadarScreen? Isn't using RadarScreen the
best way to find/trade investments and wouldn't you be able to trade solely with
it? If you have a dual processor system and are running several apps
simultaneously, does NT automatically distribute the work among the 2 CPU's?
Say, RadarScreen for the first CPU, your browser and TradeStation for the
second?
