Who's doing this?? I have a 15" G4 powerbook that get's hung up all too often and I'm looking for ideas... and switching back to Windows isn't one of them... Let's hear about your your Mac trading setups!!
You'll find that your hanging up problems will go away by upgrading to the intel-based macbook pro. They are way faster than the G4-based machines, and therefore handle Java-based apps like Oanda's platform with no sweat at all.
ja, new macs are much faster than they predecessors ....g3/g4 suck too much cpu hinderin' your tradin'. go for dual core and u'll be happy....and uh, oh, yeah...fuck windows...cheap shit for the masses
i trade on a mac i have 2 macs one setup is: macbook with leopard 10.5.x on it using when im on the go the next is a new stack 3tb storage 7gb ram running on a FIOS with oanda running it runs vmwarefusion with integrated windows support.
eh its ok its really not a huge upgrade from cable they make it sound like its faster then it really is.. reliability is great tho
