Yeah, those pesky system-backup-discs are one of the most useless inventions ever for the reasons you give.
A dedicated trading machine for just that purpose doesn't need to be shiny from my pov... is the sturdy Thinkpad still in production?
dunno, they're standard issue at work still, so quite possibly, seeing as amzn posted xxbillions in profit last week, i think they can afford decent machines...

Indifferent opening range in Europe. European equities look very tired at the highs and they start diverging from the US for the first time in a while (ES still trading at 6 years highs.) Euro stuck in chop zone confirming the neutral range and it will stay like that until ECB....

Gold for the 3th time in 3 consecutive weeks ready for a push down and complete the leg. Oil back to 96.1x but trading air after the last break. The only mover than is in a high is Yen and Japan. They are having their own wild party with politics and gossips heavily involved in markets. UJ/EJ and Nikkei riding wild alone ...nothing for me but nice for those trading the Asian sessions that have been very poor the last couple of years....

Next time, you think of buying such a bloatware-machine, aka as "a plastic bucket running MS Windows", remind your vendor that while you're buying a license for that pos of an OS, you have the right to get a natural copy of that OS on a disc, not harddrive, a physical entity. And then, guess what, format your harddrive, answer the 2000 questions of "Are you really sure, you want to move your mouse in that direction?"-questions with a "Yes, I'm legal and I pretend to know what I do. Thanks, Mr. Ballmer." and have a bloatware-free machine.

If you are in need of the OS (Windows 7) installation files, you can download them directly from Microsoft as ISO files. Only what you need is your original registration key

The site is in German, but simply scroll down a bit, there you can find the link to the OS you need

  1. 7:11 AM Silvio Berlusconi further narrows the gap with frontrunner Pier Bersani after his pledge to say to heck with the Germans and cut taxes. Three weeks ahead of elections, the former PM is now just 6.1 points behind. Also helping is the derivatives scandal and bailout at Banca Monte dei Paschi. Europe's mostly lower, led by Italy (EWI) -0.7%. Comment!
  2. EWJ, EWV
    7:01 AM The early retirement of BOJ Governor Shirakawa is cause for a party in Tokyo, with the Nikkei soaring 3.8%. The dollar strengthened vs. yen - nearly tapping on 2009 levels - before backing off to about unchanged on the session. BOJ board member Takehiro Sato says achieving the new 2% inflation goal would require as-yet untried QE methods. Can't wait. EWJ +1% premarket.

Morning..

Closed out small " lunch money" leftover from yesterday on EY earlier when Yen hit 9400

It was also the top of dustbin range

If 94 caps the Yen a decent pullback could be on offer with EU rolling over?
