Is it worth it? - forgot Mac-on-Linux ;-)

[Ray Lacgalvs]

Hello all,
watching with interest your posts as I installed ydl on my G3 750 iBook
yesterday.
It appears the basics are working ok.
Need my Mac side for software, trading the stock market. Until, I can learn
enough about ydl, databases, charting & live data feeds, this will be the
case.
>From the post can I deduce that ydl can be networked somehow so that mol &
ydl are online both at the same time?
Still trying to sort out how to research the help files on ydl with most of
the language being foreign to me.
However any clues as to where to start would be most welcome.
The main focus is to be able to have a live data feed, be able to run excel
web queries & be able to update some native Mac charting software throughout
the day.
Any advice much appreciated .

regards, Ray.
