Brain fart there. No, the Pentium IV isn't out yet (Itanium) but I will be
getting one of those wonderful machines when thye do (400 MHZ
bus---yeah! About time!). But, when I do get one, I'll be happy to let you
test out new versions on it.

LOL! I must say again that the new 5.1.1 is doing me wonders. I never got
more than 8 seconds behind on my HRS feed this morning, and I suspect with
5.1.1 I'll do even better. Usually, during the peak time of sending data,
I am 15-30 minutes behind, sometimes 40 minutes on HRS. And with NIDS just
down the pike, I can't afford data delays. Thus the reason why I want this
version so much!
