My first significant use of Java now that I have this working was not so good. The Java frame didn't draw the stock charts (or anything else) and then Firefox completely hung and had to be killed. I tried the web site ( http://www.thinkorswim.com ) a couple of times and got the same bad results. Now that I have it working it seems to me that it will be easier to maybe find a version that does work, assuming there is one. I have to try this on 32-bit Linux also to see if it's a Java thing or an AMD64 thing. Anyway, thanks. - Mark -- gentoo-amd64@gentoo.org mailing list
