There is another question: How much will various internet items on your pc
delay each other, e.g. yesterday I ran
LOL (Lind online)
LOS (squawk box) and
Quote.com (continous data incoming)
at the same time.
I realized that this seems to be "A LOT" for
my machine (PII, 233mhz, 64megs, W95) ???
my modem 28.800 ???
or my ISP ???
Where is the bottleneck
If I now think of getting TONS of symbols to my machine from DBC Im quite
sure that this will be getting real slow........
