Thanks hayseed.

I still use my 4 year old laptop as my primary computer. I started with an IBM, 20 years ago, moved to a couple of Gateways, and 4 years ago moved to Compaqs, laptop and two desktops. They are not souped up systems, but very happy with them for the money. Most souped up systems seem to be geared towards gamers and multimedia. I primarily have a need for business applications and except for the realtime version of MS would think that MS does not require the best system to be more than adequate. I have a new hard drive on my laptop with plenty of room and 1 Gig of physical memory and what appears to be 2 Gigs of virtual memory. Seems like that should be enough. The most demanding aspect of MS seems to be when I shut down the real time version. If I exit the program, the data feed continues to run for some time and uses up a lot of the computer resources. I was not aware that this was happening until Equis contacted me and accused me of running MS on multiple machines at the same time. Seems that I would exist MS at work, but the data feed did not shut down, and then would fire it up when I got home. The funny thing is that even after MS closes, and the data feed is still running, my task manager says that MS is still running and is using up most of my computer resources.

Cant't remember how much memory I had on my IBM twenty years ago (Remember expanded and extended memory?) but had a 40 MB hard drive and all my friends told me that I would never be able to fill it up if I lived to be 100. That was a PS2 Model 80 and expandable to 80 MB. It was supposed to be able to function as a server for a small office, which is why I bought it. Remember the MASH cast pushing IBMs in the late 80s.

At any rate, hope MS comes up with one of my suggested solutions, maybe with a folder system that will help to organize formulas, maybe keeping formulas for different plug-ins in different folders. I would like a henry folder, and a Jose folder, and a Roy folder, etc.
