Hi Mathew: I experimented with other browsers but found Internet Explorer more stable for the sites I use frequently with fewer reading problems and lockups.The programming staff at Microsoft is quite skilled and among the best in the business. Their software is very stable, usually very accessible and has millions and millions of users who ensure Microsoft keeps their products working with few problems. It works across many, many computer configurations and they provide quality, standardized products that all work with each other seamlessly. When you start mixing and matching platforms, third-party software and companies you get into various problems over time and open source, other than a couple of instances, is the worst to try and live with long term. But, there are allot of very good and popular non Microsoft products that work well out there and if they work then the fundemental idea when you have a job to do is to just get the job done. So, use whatever works for you. PS: Where do you do your trading? Do you use Etrade ScottTrade or which Brokerage? Rick USA
