too many traders, computers, too much heat as a result, computers if not cooled properly, will die or hang, guess thats why.

Yeah, well with each trader having 6-8 screens - i am sure the power loads are tremendous!!!

But the guys were saying the new trend is to have a computer that serves 8 or so traders.... rather than 8 individual computers. Its called Blade technology or something like that?!?

Looks like my car needs servicing shortly:

When adjusting A/C manually: 24'c and blower to 12 o'clock position, the air blows out strong-medium intermittely ... at the same time, when doors are opened, the interior lights also blink intermittely ... I was thinking either the alternator and/or the battery is dying ...
Shortly after, in the evening time, I couldn't reproduce the same when I restart the car. But I was hoping the alternator is alright since it's much more costly to fix ...
