<DIV><FONT size=2>I'm using a 21" ViewSonic PT813 monitor and I love it. I
prefer Sony's Trinitron tube over other manufacturer's. I think they are much
sharper. Some people don't like the two very thin (almost unnoticible) lines
that are on these tubes. Trinitron monitors use square dots and most other tubes
have round dots. Apparently, that makes Trinitron tubes sharper. Sony sells
Trinitron tubes to other manufacturers as an OEM.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>Regarding your choice of PII 300 XPS Dimension system: Dell
makes great computers, and you pay for it. I have a 133MHz Pentium Dell XPS and
a 266MHz Pentium II machine. As long as you have 64MB of RAM, I can't see much
of difference between the two machines when I run TS. They are both very fast
and they spend most of their time waiting for me to do something. Whether an
operation gets done in 0.2 seconds or 0.1 second is pretty unimportant for me. I
just can't react that fast. So you may want to consider cheaper alternatives.
When TS/SC was originally written, the state of the art machines were 386/486
computers. The software was written to run adequately on these slower
boxes.</FONT></DIV>

Denise,
A good conservative stradigy is to find a good solid stock and then every
month, at interum tops, "write" (sell) options on it for extra income. This
is called covered call writing.
