    The author would be pleased to discuss or give a brief presentation on any of the above subjects.  Note some pages contain numerous pictures and may take several minutes to load with a dialup modem.  They are best viewed on at least a 16" monitor with 1024 by 768 resolution but try 1280 by 1024 for clearer pictures.  The 27” iMac has about 3 mega pixels and is very nice and reliable.  The computer (cpu) should have 1 GB or more of physical memory and at least 2 GB of virtual (disk) memory.  Always run Task Manager (right click task bar or move program to Start menu) to monitor resources being used by your computer.  If the PF (Page File or disk memory) usage increases by more than a hundred MB or so on large programs then you probably need more physical memory for efficient operation.  However, if the cpu usages is often maximum then you may need a faster cpu.  A dual or quad 3 rd generation processor also helps to speed up execution.  In order to view large charts or images in detail with your IE browser you need to go to Tools, then Internet Options and then to the Advanced tab then down to Multimedia and then deselect the 'Enable Automatic resizing' button.  Update the operating system to Windows XP and service pack 2 and then install the security pack and MS windows Defender AntiSpyware for improved security.  The new Internet Explorer 8 browser is more robust and secure than IE6 or IE7 and should also be updated.  Avanquest’s SystemSuite 12 also has good security and cleanup utilities.  For the Internet Explorer browser and in the Tools menu, set the privacy for your cookies to high so that third parties cannot sneak in cookies.  Most ISPs now have a Spam box and anti-virus facilities for e-mail which you should use.  Thanks for dropping by.
