Re: New W2k Server Install

Jim,
My focus is just the big S&P contract, short term/daytrading so I only save 
about 100 symbols... futures, indices and market internals, at the moment 
with a P2 350, 256k. Going back five years i've only consumed 4 out of 10 
gigs on my current system. I do want to do more on the new system that will 
be computation intensive (1 min crunches) and will track some stocks and 
options...possibly keeping an eSignal connection open for that purpose...but 
I've already got more than enough to occupy my eyeballs and attention.

The new system came a 10 gig drive and I've got an 8.4 gig still in its box 
so I'm ok for now...but will definitely get a bigger size drive the next 
time i need to make a purchase.
